“SONY RM-VPR1”-Remote triggers the AF even with “back button AF” assigned to the A7Rii

[MikeH.]

Hello,

 

I've am using back button AF feature on my Sony A7Rii. I really like it, except that my remote (SONY RM-VPR1) triggers AF every time I press the remote.

 

Is there a way to turn it off? Because it's really annoying that my Sony A7Rii is re-focusing every single time I use my remote.

 

 

When I shoot a static object for more than one photo, I us the following steps:

 

1. I put my Sony A7Rii on a tripod

2. I use back-button-focus AF to focus

3. I use the SONY RM-VPR1-remote-trigger to shoot.

 

The PROBLEM is that the Sony A7Rii re-focuses in step #3 every time when I use the remote.

 

Thanks in advance for your help ... :-)
