Either way, the camera usually obstructs enough of the light to prevent the autofocus from kicking in well before the camera gets too close to focus. (...) Alright, (...)

I usually take my photos indoors too, but then again my (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.publish.photography)
