Focusing when tethered

Nick Manklow
Hi everyone,

I have a Nikon D750 tethered to Capture One 9.2, is it possible with this setup to control the focus remotely? Ideally I would just like to use single point in live view mode. When I tried yesterday, I could not get it to work.

Thanks.

    You should, from within live view, be able to move focus forwards/backwards using the vcr buttons (assuming you've got AF enabled on the lens and in the camera), but I don't believe there is a way to activate autofocus.

    Typically when you put a DSLR in to live view mode, autofocus gets handled differently than it does when you're using the OVF.

    I don't have a D750 handy to check, but with Canon DSLRs, when you activate live view, you need to press the back button focus to engage AF even if you normally use AF on the shutter button with a half-press.
