[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 376155, member: 9240"] Hmmm. Generally when I'm using a remote release I've already prefocused and turned any autofocus function off. I do know that the camera will attempt to focus with the ML-L3 IR remote, but I have no idea what will happen with a wired remote. My Vello has a 1/2 down function to allow for autofocus, so I would assume that this would engage AF regardless of which button it's set to - but I just tried it on my D610 and no, it won't focus with the AE/AF button set to AF-ON. I don't know how changing a different button to focus would fix that (you can set the Fn button to AF-ON on the D610). If you're using a wired remote I'm thinking it's likely just easiest to either reset the AE/AF button before using it, or prefocus and then turn AF off since I suspect the reason you're using the cable is to limit camera movement.
