asiair pro video mode - how ???

[powerlord]

Hi chaps - does anyone with an asiair pro know how to do video mode ?

I initially thought it was missing because I was using my DSLR, but the other night I used my asi224 as the main camera, and I still couldn't see where video mode was.. its a difficult thing to google for as I just come up with 'videos'. But the zwo page says it is a feature. The manual of course, like 99% of the features doesn't mention it at all*

stu

*one of my pet hates is companies that spend a fortune on creating great products and can't be bothered spending 10k or whatever on a decent techincal writer and making a manual that is accurate and covers all the features.. why bother building a feature when the owner has to be clarevoyant to know how to use it?

I think Plan has been added in the last update, I haven’t looked at that yet.

Plan is in the latest update, along with multiple star guiding.

I totally agree. There seems to be quite a few features of the asiair pro that I did not know even existed. I have watched a few videos and thought hang on it can to that?

The manual for the asiair pro is very poor indeed.

Surprised someone hasn't done an unofficial manual covering all that, tips, etc. Be a bit of work, but would certainly be appreciated by users.

I never understand as a Software Architect how companies can spend lots of time on developing and testing a feature, but then no time at all on documenting it. Madness.
