Focus of photograph rather confused (4,3,2,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snap out of it

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'focus' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'photograph rather confused' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'photograph' could be 'snap' (synonyms) and 'snap' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'outofit' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
