That depends. If you use the Hahnel model that I mentioned earlier in this thread then a half press of the devices shutter release button is like half pressing the shutter button on the camera i.e. it focuses the lens. If you have used the 'custom functions' on the camera to set let's say the AF ON button to activate focus then this will need to be reset. You could of course still use use the AF ON button to pre-focus on something and then still use the remote release. An example of this might be that you have set up your camera outside a Badgers set, you set the focus at the exit and then hide some distance away only using the remote control to fire the shutter. Other than that, no, there's no special settings required on the camera.
