I don't think Matt meant to actually just play with f stop. I and Matt said to use Av Priority as it is a good setting to use. You choose your DOF and let the smart camera decide everything else...
It allows you an obviously see what is changing and really setup the photo how you want. If you want to call that 'playing with the f stop' then that is great. Play with it.

ok well i may have misunderstood the whole post, but there is no better way to learn the camera than by shooting full manual for at least a little while. anything is better tahn autoOriginally Posted by DinanM3atl
Sure.
Full manual is great. If you are new to a camera though why deal with it? Why not shoot in Av and let the smart camera decide the other stuff. Then if the photo is a little bright or dark. Remember the settings and switch over to manual and adjust a little bit.

just not the way i would like to learn.
learning on a camera with memory cards, batteries, autofocus....they all make you kinda spoiled if you ask me.
