Question

I'm evaluating BYN for use with my D810 and wanted to confirm answers to a couple of questions:
- I wanted to confirm that I CANNOT focus via software control (this is what I've seen in the forums, at least for older versions. Lens I am testing with is AFS 70-200mm II.) I'm actually seeing that it's easier to focus via Liveview using camera display as opposed to more conveniently angled laptop display because feedback to adjustments is quicker. Can anyone make any suggestions re BYN and/or camera settings to make feedback on laptop display quicker re focusing?
- I've been shooting with Delayed Exposure set to 2 seconds re mirror slap. Discussions on whether this is necessary for long exposures aside, when capturing an image sequence, audibly I believe I'm hearing a 2 second delay between mirror up and shutter open, but the exposure times I'm seeing recorded in the image files include the 2 second delay. Can anyone provide any insight on what's going on here?
- Lastly, I believe this is wishful thinking, but for recording dark frames, I wanted to confirm I do physically need to cover the lens, correct? (ie camera interface does not provide a mechanism for recording frame with shutter closed to automate interleaving dark frame capture).
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Focus via Software Control - NIKON does support it - Search of the BYN Forum finds uses of D800 and D500 and D7200 with success. The higher-end NIKON DSLRs need to do several In-Camera changes such a

Thanks s3igell, properly setting focus area did it - I now have focus via software control on my D810 by setting focus area to S (single-point AF, Note it doesn't seem to matter whether focus mode is
