Does anybody know if this is possible?
I've been using PocketWizard MultiMaxes (with one Plus3 thrown in) to trigger remotes, and my 1D3 and 7D often become my remote(s). The 1D3 is reasonably predictable: with the pre-release cable connected between PW and camera, if the Tx PW has the zone selected, the 1D3 considers itself "busy" and ignores its human other than simple things like aperture (little wheel), ISO (big wheel), focus point selection (joystick) and perhaps live view (can't remember if this is available). The 7D becomes somewhat possessed: if the cable is connected to the Rx PW, the 7D ignores its human pretty much completely. I've monkeyed with it a bit, but not nearly enough to understand what's going on. Regardless, I think this is the same as what you were seeing, so perhaps it's just a "7D thing".
