auto focus? Can you auto focus with this remote controller?

Are you sure? everything I have read so far states it doesn`t auto focus. Thats why I didn`t buy it yet. I can`t see buying one if I have to focus in shots anyways.

I also had this question before I bought the remote control... B. Babb is right! As long as the lens is set to AF the camera will autofocus when the remote control is used (tried it myself many times). Hope this helps - Stefan

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

No not in auto-focus only in manual. I really prefer to focus mine in manual anyway now, just takes a little practice and you will be shooting like a pro in no time. I had one just like this and got broken but am getting another as takes great shots.

Yes, with programming. If you are still having issues, Google it! You can also check out this link...http://www.avsforum.com/products/hy-tek-tek-partner-bw0561rd-universal-remote-controlGood luck,Bishop

Yes. This will auto focus even on cameras that don't have an internal AF motor built in.

You've probably figured this out by now, but in case anyone is browsing this forum later on and still wants the answer, I thought I'd post. I use old manual focus Nikon lenses on this camera all the time. There is no auto focus, but they work perfectly fine in manual mode. I have a 10 dollar wireless remote I bought off of Amazon that works great for long shutter exposures.

With my Canon Rebel T-3 it works just like pushing the button 1/2 way down on your shutter button. Works very well just like you would focus from the camera with no remote.

I just experimented with pushing the various buttons on the remote. I am not sure if it is possible to automatically set it to move through all the settings on its own.

You can manually tilt the camera, but not with the remote. I'm sure that would make an awesome feature! I know some of the monitors do, but that feature wasn't worth the cost difference for me. I may wish that I would have paid for that as my daughter becomes more mobile, but so far, I have been really pleased! Hope that helps

No. The panning and zooming is manual. You have to pan, zoom to desired level, and then focus the lens properly. It has a real nice optical zoom but all the features are manual at the camera. No remote functions. There are other PTZ cameras on the market but crazy expensive......like this one.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Ipela-SNCRX550N-B-Network-Rapid-Dome-Camera-26x-Optical-Day-Night-/271122258503?pt=US_Security_Cameras

No, unfortunately not. You can adjust the intensity but not the timing. I don't think that any of these types can be manually operated.

yes, and you can set it to auto spot focus or continuous focus or set it to manual focus

yes it works, but auto focus sometimes hunts a lot, especially if the light is limited

Lex, Before I bought this one, I had one that claimed to work with my D3100, but it didn't. This remote works perfectly. You may need to review the settings. Autofocus still works just fine, but I set the shutter to Manual. I don't recall, but I think it also works in Aperture Priority mode.

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.

The remote function seems to work well for triggering the shutter and focusing, but I would use a single focus point.

Yes. Set camera to bulb mode in manual exposure. Then you can set shutter time with the remote.

NO; according to Logitech, you can only zoom In & OUT. the focus is supposed to be automatic.
