Michael White, a reader of my Alpha 700 ebook, writes in with this tip:
"Dear Gary,
When you talk about the remote control in Chapter 2, you state: "Despite what Sony's user manual says, when you press either the "Shutter" or "2 sec." button, the camera WILL autofocus first before taking the shot!". That is not quite true: it will only autofocus if you set the camera to AutoFocus Priority mode. If it is in Release Priority mode... it will take the pic right when you press the button [without autofocusing first]."
Michael is right, and I'm extremely impressed at his attention to detail! As soon as I get a spare minute I'll update the book, but in the meantime, now you know. Thanks, Michael!
