I'm actually looking for a remote solution to focus pulling for video. Is there a way to rack focus with this? Also, if so, can you set rack points?

When viewing the live image on your iPad (or other) you are able to simply tap on any point on the screen the the camera will instantly focus to that point. I don't know if this would work for preset focus points but it's great for focus stacking in stills.

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

YES... And if you look for my demonstration video on YouTube, under the title "Canon T4i 650D Remote Focus Hack - Wireless Focus on Demand!", you will discover a great feature you will not get with the built-in receiver and RC-6... the ability to focus video on demand using this remote. Other than this, the HUGE advantages of this particular remote are that is uses regular AAA batteries, so you won't worry about finding ad oddball battery if it runs out while shooting... plus unlike the built-in remote features, this one uses wireless radio, not line of sight, so you can trigger it from anywhere... front, back, side... behind you back, in your pocket... etc. YES...

Hi, I have it on the network and it streams to my Debian server running Zoneminder. It works OK for the money. If you have a decent recent version of linux (Ubuntu for instance) with java support in the browser, you can configure it on the browser just fine. I didn't try it with motion, but I see no reason not to work, since it works in Zoneminder. This is the url I user in zoneminder: http://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@&lt;ip&gt;/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi Replace the stuff in &lt;&gt; with the proper info. I hope this helps. Even though this works fine, I would recommend you a better quality camera in the same price range, like the new D-Link. If you do a research, you can buy one with about $35 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Link-Wireless-N-Network-Surveillance-Camera-W-iPhone-Remote-Viewing-DSC-930L-/360817167462?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item5402610c66)

I've been able to work everything without the remote except for one thing, source selection. You can't change the video source without the remote.

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

For my camera, D5100, I dont think it is possible to start recording with the remote. However to answer you other question, if camera is set on auto focus then yes it will focus on subject while recording.

You can set to manual focus as such: 1. Set the focus selector switch to [MF], which displays on the screen. 2. Press the setting wheel to set [MF] to a selected state. 3. Rotate the setting wheel to display the focus range on the screen. Press the left/right arrow keys or rotate the setting wheel to focus on the subject (use the cursor button to make slight adjustments). That should do it. Enjoy yourself. This has proven to be an amazing camera, with possibilities I don't get even with the M!

I haven't, but it doesn't have any effect on video. If you can look around with the keyboard or mouse, this will work fine. Probably be pretty cool. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Kind of a lot of gear on your head though.

You can use whatever remote you'd like. I have directv. I'm not using there remote. I have ir emitters on the boxes and an mx3000 set to rf. I've been using this hdflow for a while now and it hasn't blinked. I'm about to add 2 more

Hi Doug. I have never been able to get the remote to activate the Video on my Canon 60D. I have tried numerous times in numerous configurations, but doesn't respond. Hope this helps. -bob-

Sure, the TZ1 does it, but it won't be around forever and has, in most ways, been surpassed by the TZ3.So I guess what I meant by my first post was: Do any OTHERS, besides the TZ1, allow zooming while doing video?

You can manually tilt the camera, but not with the remote. I'm sure that would make an awesome feature! I know some of the monitors do, but that feature wasn't worth the cost difference for me. I may wish that I would have paid for that as my daughter becomes more mobile, but so far, I have been really pleased! Hope that helps

You can. But it'll take some time practicing so you don't get all shaky with the video. To manually focus I'd just go with hand held

You have to focus by moving the camera back and forth. Focus ring doesn't work. Also have to get close to object.

You have to have the camera set to where you want it focused before using the remote. Basically, make sure the autofocus is where you want it and working before using the remote. Hope that helps!

I tried this out on my 7D, and it does work in video mode. You need to start the video, then the Satechi remote, and it will snap a still at the interval you've chosen. It also works in Live View mode too, in case you're wondering.
