howdy,

does the D70 remote trigger focussing prior to shutter release (if in AF-S mode)

been thinking that it would be handy to take a few self portraits when i'm oiut and about - would love to hear any words of wisdom.

thanks,

As far as I know... no.

My guess it that pre-focusing should become your friend in the near future.

However... it might... I just doubt it would.

didn't think so either- would be nice to have though.

I would have to disagree...
Pressing the remote is the same as hitting the shutter on the body...
ie:
AF-on: AF is activated, Focus is attained and then and only then shutter is fired
AF-off (MF): Shutter is fired

Just checked it with my EN-L3 remote in AF-S mode on M,A,S & P modes and it does auto focus every time.

Well I was wrong. Lol.

Yes and no - it depends. It can do it either way, which is a very useful feature. Have a look at the manual page 109, and all will become clear.

don't have the remote yet mate, if it didn't focus i was planning on prefocussing and using the timer.

thank you all for the clarification.

The info is in the D70 manual.

thanks mate.

i really should have should have known that a one button remote doesn't need a 100+ page manual
