Thanks, peety. BTW, I saw an inexpensive car keyfob looking remote system on eBay but haven't seen it lately. I remember it specifically stating that it offered this feature. Am I the oddball for thinking this should be standard on all RF solutions? This PW stuff is not cheap!
EDIT: I found this system on eBay, but it isn't what I had seen before. It does specifically mention Focus as one of the available release modes. I am guessing that it means a half-press, essentially.

However, you probably want to resend that code/bit with each subsequent command, so the receiver knows to continue the half-press. There could also be "rules" on the receiver end that say the half-press has to stop during/after the full-press (or not stop), etc., all of which is research and deployment that the cheaper folks prefer to skip.
We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
