 * What is important about focus? How do you get good focus on a DSLR camera?**

The important thing about focus is the object/area you focus can change the entire meaning of the photo. Plus if your focus is on something that does not fit with the image or the image is not in focus when and where it needs to be, it can ruin the entire image. To focus no a DSLR camera, you can either choose auto focus or manual focus. On some cameras you can gently hold down the button that shoots a photo and it will focus in a way that you choose. If you are on manual focus then you will have to adjust the lens in order for it to focus the way that you want it to.
