Re: [Help] focusing/settings
I need to put the camera to aperture priority to do all that, I'm almost positive I can't change anything in macro mode on the canon xt. Thanks for the advice. |

That is probably correct - for the most part I would stay away from the pre-programmed scene modes. Use them to see what choices the camera would make, and then move back to modes with more control for tweaking.
Av is probably your friend here - use it when you want control over the DOF. Camera will chose a good shutter speed.

Some assembly required, your mileage may vary, no pixels were harmed in the writing of this post. Brain cells, though, are a different matter. You want fries with that? |
