Quick Tips for Anyone with a Camera - My Camera Won't Shoot

Ever get frustrated because your camera won't take a picture?  Your camera probably isn't broken, it just can't lock in the focus.  There are typically two reasons for this.
  • You are too close.
  • Not enough contrast around the subject, light and dark areas. 
On the first one, every camera has a minimum distance it can focus at.  In other words you can only get so close.  Try a few of things:
  • Take a few steps back and try the shot, then gradually work your way in.
  • Zoom out.  The more you zoom in, the farther away you have to be.
  • If you need to get VERY close, try zooming out all the way and set macro mode.
As usual, any questions, fire away.
