Setting camera property to manual mode from auto

[ptweir]

when attempting to set a camera property (e.g. 'shutter') to a certain value (e.g. 100) and switch into manual mode while the camera is in auto mode, the camera successfully switches to manual mode, but does not get set to the new value (100).

Example:
PROP_NUM = 3
VALUE = 10
cam.set_camera_property(PROP_NUM,100,1) # set property to auto
cam.get_camera_property(PROP_NUM) # check that it is in auto mode (second number should be 1)
cam.set_camera_property(PROP_NUM,VALUE,0) # set property to manual and try to set to value 10
cam.get_camera_property(PROP_NUM) # check that it is in manual mode (second number should be 0) BUT value is not VALUE
cam.set_camera_property(PROP_NUM,VALUE,0) # try again
cam.get_camera_property(PROP_NUM) # this time it works
