Have a SX poweshot 160 IS that I use during home exterior inspections. Recently when I try and take pics of the roof shingles, the camera wont fully focus and the pics are blurry. Just started doing this. Hate to have to buy a different camera. Any tips?

Did it used to work on shingles? Does it work OK on other subjects?
There may not be enough contrast to allow focus to work. Try focusing on edge of roof.

I am taking the pics from the ground. When I take pics of architectural shingles is ok but just the plain roof shingles is what I am having trouble with so it has to be the contrast issue. Funny that I never had a problem with it until recently tho. I appreciate your help and I will do what I can to try and get clear pics. Again, Thank You
