Most cameras with the autofocus feature are snapshot
cameras, not intended for close work.	The autofocus
will try to focus on the background, not the figure.

 Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

An extension bellows, or macro-tubes, on any
reasonable
single lens reflex camera will do the trick.
