Autofocus works by screen center. If there is nothing there autofocus doesn't work.

It would be very convenient to have a node to control the focus distance, like with a locator. I was not successful with the distance node yet.

Ok it works this way:
- create your camera
- create a distance tool from the menu /Create/Measure Tools/Distance Tool
- place one of the locators at the center of your camera (snap it), parent it to the camera, and place the other locator where you want to focus
- in the hypershade, middle-click-drag the DistanceDimensionShape over the CameraShape node and choose "distance" from the distancedimensionShape and "focus distance" from the Octane section.
==)) I don't have access to Octane right now but I think the name of the attribute is "focus distance", but I'm not sure.... Well, find the right one in the octane section. It'll work.
Now you can animate your focus like you want, it works very good!
*edit: of course, disable auto-focus in the octane camera
