Set to 'one shot' auto focus and try again

Make sure the subject is well lit. The autofocus relies on differences in contrast to determine proper focus. Move to a well lit area or add additional light and attempt again.

Make sure the aperture ring on the lens (if that lens has one on it) is set to minimum (highest number - f22 etc.) This value it often a different color ink than the others to help speed locating it. On most Nikon & compatible lenses, when the aperture is set to minimum, the camera's main & sub command (thumb and finger) dials will control the aperture and shutter speed. When the shutter is held down 1/2 way, the aperture will open fully (to allow the most light in and speed composition) and then automatically stop down to the commanded value when fully depressed for the exposure. If you have the aperture set on the lens to something different - it may be preventing sufficent light from entering and interfere with the autofocus function.

Good luck!

Which lens(es)? Do you have autofocus turned on both on the body and on the lens? What autofocus mode(s) do you have set on the camera?

This may happen if the autofocus cannot get a fix. Also if the exposure is out of range the camera refuses to fire.

Maybe The Button Is Broken Chek The Button If It Still does Not work Let an Axpert Chek Your camera

Presumably you intend to use a DSLR. The automatic nature of modes relates to exposure. Lenses autofocus assuming you have turned the autofocus switch on. Switch the autofocus off if you want to manually focus. Whichever you use will not affect the modes

Check two switchs, one on the camera body and one on the lens. Make sure they are both set to AF. At least that is how it is on my D80

"... Autofocus Lock ("AF-L"). Pressing the AF-L (Autofocus Lock) button enables the Nikon F4 to lock the focus. Simultaneous lock of AF-L and AE-L is possible. "'FREEZE FOCUS" - is another great function in the F4. It allows automatic shutter release when subject enters a pre focused distance - available with Nikon MF-23 and/or the 250 exp. MF-24 Multi-Control Back. i.e. with the shutter button fully depressed, the shutter is automatically fired when a subject comes into a preset manually focused position. This function is recommended for sports races because the racing course is usually known beforehand. It also works well in wildlife remote control photography, scientific, forensic and other technical photography. ..."
