so i read Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera and wanted to try out some things or just practice some things i learned.
one thing was about f-stop and depth of field. the author says if you use a low f-stop you get less depth of field, which is good for portraits where you want the subject in focus and the background out of focus.
well, i can't get my camera to do this. it wants to get everything in focus. what am i doing wrong?
i was using a 18-55mm lens, at f4 i believe. now i was using the manual setting but with the autofcus turned on. do i have to manually focus to get what i want or what do i need to do?
