11. When you adjust the focus on a camera manually you are focusing on a plane
and not a point. So if you are taking a picture of a brick wall and one spot is in focus,
the entire wall will be in focus.
Film cameras mainly had one focal point (generally in the centre) but new DSLR’s
can focus on up to 11 points.

12. If you are having a hard time focusing the camera it could be one
of the following reasons.
1) You could be too close to your subject and your lens is not
capable of focusing that close.
2) In low light autofocus systems will have a tough time focusing
as the autofocus depends on light to work.
3) If there is little contrast in the picture the camera becomes
“blind”. For example if you take a picture of a clear blue sky
the camera won’t know what to focus on but if there is a cloud
the camera will focus on that because of the contrast.
13. Definition: The distance between the nearest and the
furthest objects that are judged to be in focus in a
camera. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field)
