Hi everyone,
I am a newbie here. I have been enjoying photography for about a year now on a used Canon Rebel G that I bought. I have been going through the book "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson, and have enjoyed being able to set my own shutter speed and f-stops. Most photos have turned out well. I am now to the point of learning about and wanting to do depth of field. The Canon Rebel G allows manual focus, but it appears that if I try depth of field that I am not allowed to manually set the shutter speed and f-stop, but rather the camera sets to do those automatically. The Peterson book references the ability to do Distance Settings. However, the Rebel G does not appear to have those.
I have found some Canon Elan 7 used cameras on Amazon. As far as I can tell, the Elan 7 will allow me to do Distance Settings while still having the freedom to set my shutter speed and f-stop manually. Does anyone know if that is actually the case? I would like to know for sure before I spend the money on an Elan 7.
Thank you for the advice,
Matthew
