Originally posted by FruitLooPs Just for clarity, there is still the option in the cameras settings for having the AF work prior to releasing the shutter when using the remote. "AF with Remote Control" no. 14 in the menu
Fancy remote sounds nice though.
Ooops, my bad.
Of course, the manual does indeed say: "When [14. AF with Remote Control] is set to [On] in the [A Custom Setting 2] menu, you can use the remote control unit to adjust the focus. "
I was half-recalling a discussion in the K-5 subforum where someone was complaining about the in-ability of the camera to do AF when using the self-timer - eg for self portraits or group shots.
Doesn't look like that has changed with the K-30.
