I have a Nikon D5000 camera. Recently I was trying to take pictures of outdoor Christmas decorations and was having problems getting the camera to focus on anything using my 18-55 mm lens. If I zoomed in a little bit, the camera would focus, but then I could not get everything into the frame.
As an additional problem, a month ago I dropped the camera with this lens from about 5' high out of the top of my backpack onto soft grass. I am not sure if the camera and/or lens is damaged and wondering if this is what is causing the focusing problems. My other lenses work fine in the dark (and the 18-55 mm lens works fine during the day). Should I take my camera and lens to a repair shop to see if either or both are damaged, or is there something I can do at home to assess this before taking it to a shop.
Thanks.
