Canon EOS 650D/EOS - Rebel T4i/EOS Kiss X6i

Hi !

I had troubles to use my new Canon EOS 650D with Helicon Remote, but I found a solution for that, so I will tell it to you.

The 650D has continuous autofocus in video mode and live view and this is not working with Helicon Remote.
But the good news ... you can disable the continuous autofocus in the camera menu and then Helicon Remote wirks fine.

I have done some great pictures and all is working fine!
Hope this information helps somebody...

Canon says:
The 650D is the first Canon DSLR that has continuous autofocus in video mode and live view, which Canon calls "Hybrid AF". This feature, intended mainly for video recording, is implemented through a new sensor technology in which certain pixels are dedicated to phase-detection AF (traditionally used in DSLRs) and others to contrast-detection AF (used in camcorders).
