Press the shutter halfway to achieve focus,
and then compose and shoot the picture. The person??™s face
will be in perfect focus in the resulting image.
TIP
If the camera is unable to achieve focus in low light
conditions, momentarily shine a penlight on the area
you want the camera to focus on. After focus has been
achieved, turn off the penlight and take the picture.
Alternatively, you can switch to manual focus.
TIP
Your camera may also have a mode that switches
between one-shot focus and continuous focus.
Continuous focus is handy when you??™re photographing
moving objects.
