Remote Control and AF?

[cherieamour]

Hello,

Wondering if Nikon wireless remote controls or remote cords can control AF?

i.e. half press = AF, full press = take photo?

Sorry, no idea of remotes at all :P

Thanks!

i also want to know.

the cheap $16 remote cannot half press at all. BUT, those $100-$200 remote release that is corded can half press.

basically when u press the button on the remote, the camera will focus and then snap right away.

or else can manual focus, esp fast moving subject

Haha! Please reveal what it is (:

Haha I think you can build your own too if you want. Search around for those schematics. I think usually just a stereo plug, a cable and 1 or 2 switches. Or some people build and sell over ebay.
