Can't get camera to focus sharply.
Hi!
Make sure your lens is clean and free of any smudges or debris.
Ensure that you are far enough away from your subject that the minimum focusing distance has been achieved
Most auto-focus systems use contrast to detect what needs to be sharp. If you are shooting something that is all the same color, the camera will probably not be able to focus.
Make sure there is plenty of light on the subject; even if to the naked eye it looks like there is light, the camera focus system will have a hard time detecting your subject if it is not extremely well lit.
Hope that helps!

I had the same problem. It got corrected when I turned off several options in the menu, and later turned them back on. I have left the assist beam and AiAF off and it works fine.

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here:
