Hi,

I am totally new to this. I got the app working on my Android device. Also managed to flash the TL-MR3040 and it all looks good. However, I cannot find how to switch off the autofocus and how to control the focus via app "manually".

I use it for video.

Can anyone help?

I think I saw buttons for controlling the focus on the app's screen. But I cannot find where can I switch them on again. The manual does not help either.

I want to be able to control the focus via app. This should be possible, is it?

Auto-focus button – with the auto-focus button the user can start the camera auto-focus.
While the camera auto-focus is engaged the button will have a red color.
Pressing the button while the camera auto-focus is engaged will stop the camera auto-focus.
Long press – by long pressing the auto-focus button the user can change the auto-focus behavior before capture. By default the auto-focus is not started before the capture. If auto-focus is enabled before capture the ‘AF’ button will have a red color and the camera auto-focus will be started before every capture.

Thanks, I think that will work.

But just to be clear - can I control focus manually via app? Can it be done at all? I think I saw like arrows or plus and minus or something that I could use to control focus.

So how do you get those arrows at the bottom of screen to show up? I don't have them.

The camera is Nikon D800 if it should matter

This is what I see. No buttons or arrows to move the focus point manually.

You must set your focus mode to AF-S.

Also set UI to much smaller. With this size buttons won't fit on screeen.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try them later when I get home.

How do you set the UI smaller? The device is Samsung Galaxy S3 btw, so the UI is actually not very big in physical means.
