I don't know if all SLRs support it but it basically works like this: you rig your camera so it doesn't shoot unless it senses something in focus. On the D70 you can do this by setting your camera to AF-S, set the AE-L button to AF-ON (menu item 15), manually focus, and then hold the shutter down. When something walks into the focal plane, the camera will sense it and trigger the shutter. On the D70, you have to hold the shutter button down so it's not much use for self portraits (if you use the remote it will trigger the autofocus anyway) but very handy for hand-held macros.

It works if the camera has a setting to not take a photo unless it is in focus. So you set it up on manual focus with wide aperture and a blurred frame and when you walk into the focal plane it senses that and releases the shutter. Recalling the technique from a Photo Techniques Magazine cover article about a decade ago...I don't know if your average DSLR is capable of this. What about using the “snap focus” technique?
