sweetness, try taking the lens off and then putting it back on, sometimes that will work. i'm assuming that you have the 18-55mm Zoom lens. i don't know if there is a manual/auto switch on it, but if there is put it on manual. i believe there are 2 knurled rings on the lens - one is for zoom (i believe the larger one), and the slim one at the front of the lens is the one to focus with. hope it works out. otherwise, enjoy paradise.
