The close up focus distance on this lens is 11", so standing at your friends shoulder should present no problem with focusing. Another problem to look for is depth of field. At f/3.5 the depth of field will be shallow so you will want the focus point right on the baby. I would set the auto focus mode on AF-C (Continuous-servo). That way you can hold the release button half way down and the camera will continue to focus on the subject with out having to re-focus each shot. I would also use Dynamic area focusing. With these settings you can put the focus point right on the baby and that is where the camera will focus. Good luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
