Autofocus turned off

by Cassandra
(Boise, Idaho)

I was taking pictures of a family party and it was a dark room. My camera was not focusing right because the subject was too dark and I guess when things are dark the auto-focus doesn't work right with some cameras. I turned off the auto-focus so that I could focus my camera on my subject using manual instead. Later, I was taking more pictures, but I forgot to turn my auto-focus back on. It was a big mistake because I took another 25 or 30 pictures that came out blurry. I was able to use about 5 of them. The rest were bad photos. I couldn't tell that they were bad by looking at the LCD screen, because I didn't zoom in on the playback feature to check them for sharpness.
