The autofocus didn't work correctly. There are

some subjects that are difficult for the autofocus to

lock on. These include: glossy or reflective surfaces, black objects, subjects behind glass or wire mesh, flames and smoke, excessively bright light within the picture area.

First focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject. Then aim at the desired subject and press the shutter release button.
