Re: DSLR Controller (Android)

Right from the start R-MF is displayed, I think indication that AF is not available.

I am intesrested in any alternaiives so I will try Helicon. Obviously I would like to have AF if possible.

Thanks for the info.

Two things: I assume you know that you can touch the screen to trigger AF, and, the 450D doesn't respond to instruction to autofocus via apps like the EOS Utility. So if you are touching the screen and it's not AFing, it's the 450D not the app.

That was my one complaint with the 450D and the EOS Utility. I'm not sure when they fixed it, but I think the 600D (maybe 550D?) and later do. My 60D sure does.

Have your tried Helicon Remote? It seems a bit more stable and has some nice features.
