[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 13853, member: 654"] Sounds like the camera is looking for a focus point. The auto Focus system on a Nikon has to have contrast that the camera focusing system can see. If you point the camera at a blank wall the lens can't focus, not enough contrast. I often run into this problem when shooting early morning or evening shots. Low light and not enough contrast for the focusing system to lock on to. Sounds like you are shooting portraits? Check the focus point, if it is off the subject and trying to focus on the background scene there may not be enough visible contrast for the camera to lock on to, or the lighting and/or subject you are using is just not providing enough contrast.
