Just so you will know, some folks use auto focus because they have vision problems, not saying that she does. I have owned three Canons, very unsatisfactory experience with all three. On two of them the sensors went kaput within a year and a half. Do yourself a favor and don't believe all the advertising hype. She just asked for help not a smart alek remark.

Yup! Canon IS the answer (or the question?) Why is it that most of the photo equipment for sale on Craigslist is "Canon"? Very little Nikon equipment! Dah! Nikon users are always satisfied with Their equipment! :thumbup: LOL No offence meant. Just a poor attempt at early morning humor

Your right - Canon IS the question.....

YES is the answer!

It looks to me like your auto focus is snapping to the pine needles in the foreground. This is a common problem in a shooting situation like this. Try using manual focus on the people. I doubt that there is anything wrong with your camera.

set you camera to bulb and manually control all aspect of the shoot :?:

Am I to assume a Canon would have told her what was wrong? That won't help her much when she was asking about a Nikon.

Canon just laughs at that question

Make sure that your focus point isn't picking out object to the side such as the pine needles. Use center point focus.

i agree. If you had focused on the the hat of the person on the right and then kept the shutter partially pressed while composing your shot you could have gotten a better shot.
