I have a remote with my D7000 and it's hugely frustrating that it auto focuses when using the remote. The whole reason I want it is for speed and to not move the tripod.

I have looked through the settings and turned off auto focus on the lens and body.

You can turn off autofocus using the dial at the bottom left side (when looking though the viewfinder), beside the bajonett. Turn it from AF to M to disable autofocus. You then need to focus the lens manually. You may also auto-focus first, then switch to M before using a remote trigger.

Not possible yet. you need to do it manually.

ML-L3: External Remote shutter(infrared ray,Range:5 meter appx.)

WU-1a: Wireless remote shutter with cell phone(wifi)
