If it doesn't get that contrast it can't focus and your camera is set up to prevent the shutter from opening until focus-lock is obtained. So, in short... No contrast = No focus-lock = No shot. You can turn off the Focus Lock feature, but that's effectively going to Manual focus. Adding a flash/Speedlight won't help with auto-focus because the strobe doesn't fire until the shutter is opened.Once again, your issue is auto-focusing in low light; and your solution is a faster lens.</blockquote>
