FocusWhen you adjust the focus on a camera manually you are focusing on a plane and not a point. So if you are taking a picture of a brick wall and one spot is in focus,the entire wall will be in focus.

Film cameras mainly had one focal point (generally in the centre) but new DSLR’s can focus on up to 11 points.

FocusIf you are having a hard time focusing the camera it could be one of the following reasons.

1) You could be too close to your subject and your lens is not capable of focusing that close.

2) In low light autofocus systems will have a tough time focusing as the autofocus depends on light to work.

3) If there is little contrast in the picture the camera becomes “blind”. For example if you take a picture of a clear blue sky the camera won’t know what to focus on but if there is a cloud the camera will focus on that because of the contrast.
