Using an auto-focus camera isn't a guarantee that your pictures won't be out of focus, says DIY Photography host and expert photographer Rick Sammon. If you're shooting in low light with a narrow depth of field, lock in the focus and recompose your scene. Some cameras have a focus-assist beam (figure A) that helps you focus in low-light situations. If you're using a wide-angle lens, you'll be shooting at a smaller aperture so you'll have a larger depth of field. But if you're using a telephoto lens, there's more room for error because the depth of field is shallow.
