I am a newbie to a lot of this technology and would value your advice.
What I am trying to do is to use my A7 to control a remote camera - a Panasonic FZ1000 - and I am getting along quite well except for one aspect.
I have got the phone and the remote camera connected through the Panasonic app. and that works fine, the phone will control zoom, mode and may other things, all of which again, work fine. What I can't figure out how to do is to focus the picture before pressing the shutter release.
If I just take the picture without focusing, sometimes it auto-focuses, and sometimes it doesn't...so my question is, how do I ensure that the picture is in focus before I press the shutter?
