Will the camera focus with the remote or does the camera have to be pre focused?

It automatic mode the camera focuses fine. I haven't tried it in other modes yet, but if you have an autofocus lens I imagine it will focus for you fine.

I would say yes, but to be on the safe side, I would refer to the manual to see if the camera has a remote option.

Yes, if your camera has settings for 2 or 10 second delay. Vital for group photos!The remote uses a CR2032 battery. Do not leave the remote plugged into the camera when not in use, as it will drain the battery, rapidly; disconnect it when not in use.

I don't know either, but I suspect it won't work - in order to use the remote shutter, you have to run the Looq app - with the Looq app running, the button on the remote shutter arm will activate the camera -

If the auto focus is activated yes but there is no focus option on the remote.

It does come with a remote control. The camera is a bit difficult to figure out at first but what you do is set it up in your car. It took us quite a while to discover this! It is a great camera in day and in night. Hope it works out for you.

I don't have my camera in front of me, but I don't recall any setting to change the focus.It would most likely be one of the preset shooting modes the camera has that would produce a shot like that.

Once you turn the unit on with the remote, you can either select, take a picture or run video. Not sure on the other question since it is hard to use the menu but I am not real good on electronics.Important note. I captured a Bigfoot on mine at 60 yards but the camera made it look much further away. Not happy with that! Jay Stewart

Does the remote need to be pointed directly toward the camera, or I could I discretely signal the shutter release with my hands behind my back for example? Hoping to avoid running back and forth for large group photos.

Yes, but only if you find the sweet spots on the remote between up or down and left or right... but it will do both simultaneously. You'll find that you can really only use the camera live during panning when it's wide. When you are zoomed in the unit it jerky. I have five of these units. I love them!

yes it does.. i have the same camera and remote. just make sure you plug it in correctly - the ends are not keyed, and it is a directional plug so if you plug it in wrong it won't work.i almost packed it back up for return before i figured that out... lol works great !

From my experience, yes. The remote works exactly like the shutter release on the camera. Holding the remote trigger down half way focuses the lens. Pressing all the way triggers the shutter. Just be sure the camera is "aimed" at you subject. If you aim it at something beyond or in front of your subject, the subject may be out of focus depending on the aperture size.

Are you setting the camera to remote release mode first? This mode is next to the MUP mode on the left of the viewfinder, a dial below the selection for different shooting modes like manual, auto etc. The remote should work once set to that mode.

I have used the Foto Tech RC-6 Wireless remote on my Canon 7D. It works fine when it is held in front of my camera. Unfortinatley using this wireless remote does not allow for the lens to auto focus. There fore I have gone back to using the corded Canon remote. It releases the shutter in addition to auto focusing the lens. Hope this helpsJim

The remote shutter release will accomplish the same as if you were using the Cameras shutter release button. Im very happy with this product,way better than the wireless.

Yes, but this camera just has auto focus. So, just select the thing or person that you want to focus on and just move or zoom the focus.

The remote does not perform the auto-focus, the camera does. I have not used the remote for video, but have taken portraits with the remote, and the camera handles the focusing (unless I'm set for manual focus) without a problem.
