Certainly the wireless/bluetooth remote (ML-L7) has no focus 1/2 press just a full press. How stupid!

I took the Z fc out again this morning. I tried both normal and silent shutter. I didn't notice any anomalies in the images using silent shutter, so was happy about that. I took over 500 images on one battery, not sure how much was left in the battery. I was going to keep using it until it went flat, but didn't get that far today. I had a spare in my pocket. Focusing was fine, particularly when the birds were in bush with dappled lighting. A few snaps from this morning #1 Red Wattlebird  #2 Golden Whistler  #3 Purple Swamphen  #4 Spotted Pardalote (Male) outside the nest he was making in the bank  #5 Spotted Pardalote (Female)  #6 Red-browed Finch

As the remote has function buttons, maybe one can be programmed to give remote focussing - like using the back button to focus? Click here to comment on this image.

Good idea @chrisbet. I'll see if I can get BBF working and try it out. I decided to have a play with the ML-L7 remote this morning. Nikon love to make life difficult. It took me 1/2 and out to figure out how to get it connected. Once connected it worked quite well. A couple of snaps from this morning #1 Z fc with Lensbaby Velvet 85  #2 Z fc with 105mm macro. 15image focus stack

I find that getting some of the bluetooth and wifi connections working to initially connect is a real trial. Once connected it usually works very well. Did you manage to get a solution to the focus half pressure issue?
