Any ideas anyone?

Could you just diode OR the switch to both contacts?

But he wants to activated two different things, but in the same
mechanical space.

Like he said, press the button a tiny bit, and it adjusts
the autofocus (and activates the LCD panel if it had gone
to sleep). Press the button a bit harder, and the camera
actually takes a picture.

One button switch connected to two functions wont' allow
you to do the actions independently.

I understood he just wanted to take a photo and the fact that it kept
going to sleep was preventing the shutter from being released. By ORing
them together the camera is woken up just as the photo is taken.
