Its not having to think about focussing, its not having to turn a light on...!?If this were possible I could indeed use a remote switch to lock the shutter depressed and shoot ahoy, alas it does not seem possible.It looks like a self take kit with a pressure switch is going to be my only joy, either that or I set up a stadiums worth of lights to replicate day time conditions-not practical when fishing!One thing I will say is I was testing the D3100s ability to autofocus on a single shot in the dark and was very impressed. I used the timer (as i would do as last resort when fishing) with auto focus and the af-assist light, both of which would have picked up my tent as POF. I fully depressed the shutter and then ran round and placed myself in front of the tent and behind my special Carp-Cradle and it managed to focus on ME when it went off.Now bearing in mind I wasn't there when the camera first focussed this is pretty good...i'm guessing this is to do with the cameras depth of field? and not making a last minutes focus adjustment whilst the timer light flashed or flash went off? Yes I really do have that little an understanding of how this kit works!Any further advice/confirmations (particularly on my main issue) would be much appreciated!Cheers folks</blockquote>
