Dual-pressure push switch like camera shutter?

Dear All,
Has anyone ever seen an off-the-shelf pushbutton that has two contacts, one that's made on gentle pressure and a second that's made when you press all the way down? Like the shutter button on most cameras.
I'm actually making a remote shutter release for my camera. I was going to connect up just the main "take picture" contact, since I don't need the autofocus in this case and it seems to work. But then I discovered that another purpose of the first contact is to wake the camera up if it has gone to sleep. Having a separate switch is not ideal since in this case.
Any ideas anyone?
Phil.
