The one thing I've run into several times trying to take close ups of flowers in the yard is that different lenses need to have anywhere from a few inches to a foot or two of distance between the lens and the subject. Probably not the problem if you're taking pictures of people, but could be something to consider.Either way, it sounds like the camera was unable to achieve focus, which is why it won't let you take the shot. You can try changing the lens to manual focus and see if that solves the problem for that particular shot. At least then you would know whether it's auto-focus related or something else.</blockquote>
