Tip of The Week
Have you ever had difficulty focusing your camera? It's useful to understand some of the most difficult focusing scenarios so you can learn to adjust your technique. Two of the most problematic focusing situations are low contrast and low light environments.
In a low contrast setting, your camera can be confused because depth is more difficult to determine. The solution is to zoom in or move in closer to your subject.
In a low light setting, you will usually have to use longer shutter speeds. In such cases, watch out for blur that may arise from camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
