Furry Objects in the Mirror May Appear in Focus

After trying unsuccessfully to catch this little guy randomly scurrying about I relized my camera was in single shot mode and I had to release the button for each refocus. By the time I figured it out all I got was this shot minus a piece of tail. When taking pictures of furry animals I have not had much luck with the Canon autofocus function.


At the Chin Picnic I took several out-of-focus shots at the dog show but only this one where the dog was sitting still turned out. Most of the time I have the camera on center spot focus, this may be a mistake as the fur is too fine to allow a focus lock.

Ugh not another pet shot!
