Even though things appear in focus to you, the camera may not agree and refuse to take the shot. You can over-ride this setting easily however. Press the menu button and go into the Pencil icon (CUSTOM SETTING menu) and go into the "A" menus. There you'll find settings for "Autofocus" and, more specifically, "Priorty". Release Priority allows you to take a shot without having achieved focus-lock, Focus Priority prevents the shutter from activating until there's a focus lock.Edit: I guess I should add the obvious caveat that if you set your camera to use Release Priority you do increase your odds of getting more out-of-focus shots. ....</blockquote>
