Question Camera Sticking - D90 SLR.

Ok guys, as always, if posted in the wrong forum, please forgive!

Here is the problem I have been having of late.

I recently went on a Ghost Tour and I noticed that when I tried to take a picture of one area at the location, my camera would "act" like it was trying to take the picture, but never quiet made it, like a stall click if that makes any sense. Yet when I would point the camera at another location, it would take the picture fine.

So initially I thought "YEAH, some Ghostly interaction is going on" lol, however I tried taking pictures afterwords on another day and had the same experience.

So does this mean I have a faulty camera, or is there a setting issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

Were you within a appropriate focusing distance for your lens? Was it the same lens? If not, does it occur with other lenses? I guess I should have started with what camera were you using?

Judging from the title I think it is a D90



The only thing I can think of would be that the camera was searching for a focus point, this would occur if there was not much light as well.

Thanks guys. So I guess I will test the different lenses and see if that is the issue.
