tethered shooting in AF mode
I'm shooting 'tethered' with a Sony a6300. It works, except for a couple of issues. One is that the shutter button on C1 won't trigger the camera shutter in AF, so I have to manually focus. In AF I here the lens focus, but the shutter won't trigger. Is this 'by design' for some unfathomable reason?

Is there a mode that refuses to take an image if focus has not been achieved as far as the camera understands things?
Hearing the mechanism move and the camera deciding whether or not it has focused are not always one and the same thing. I have had similar situations with my Canon bodies from time to time without tethering being involved. Usually when I have set a mode that I don;t normally use - and then forgotten to reset it.

If I press the shutter button on the camera, or use an IR remote, AF succeeds and I get the shot. If I press the on-screen button in C1 the AF also succeeds, but the shutter isn't triggered.0 -

I have no knowledge of the Sony systems so these comments are very general.
If the camera is operating directly (via the shutter button or IR remote) it is using the same focusing method as it is when using a tether?
The only thing I can think of is that for some reason the camera is reporting that it has not achieved focus (or maybe cannot balance the exposure at the current shutter/aperture/ISO settings?) and therefore does not take the shot.
Sure, there could be something else involved, but something along those lines would be the most common reasons for not firing the shutter (other than a lack of card in the camera!) that I can think of.

Were you able to resolve the problem? If so, how?0
