Focusing in remote control operation

Two methods to shoot with autofocus with remote control:

1.Autofocus activated by signal from remote control:

Shutter is released when (or two sec. after) the subject is in focus. However, when focus cannot be achieved, it remains in standby mode.

2.Autofocus activated by lightly pressing shutter release button on the camera body before remote control operation:

Lightly press the shutter release button on the camera body while the remote control is standing by to achieve focus. Once focus is achieved, focus is locked (even though the finger is removed from the shutter release button). Shutter is released when (or two sec. after) the shutter release signal is received from the remote control unit.
