Tips for Focusing in the Dark
Amplify’d from www.beyondmegapixels.com
Taking a long exposure picture in dark conditions can be a challenge, because the camera’s auto-focus capabilities find it difficult to “see” a point of focus.
1. Use a flashlight to temporarily light up your subject (glow sticks work well, too).
2. Use your camera’s flash pulse, in the full-auto mode, to set the focus.
3. Set the lens to infinity
4. Focus on points of light that are at a similar distance to the subject
5. Remember, if you’re using your lenses auto focus capabilities to set the focus, to flip the switch to manual focus once the correct focus is achieved (to “lock the focus”). That way you won’t accidentally depress the shutter and kick in the auto focus again at the wrong moment.
