John,
It is stopping down to f4 for your pictures, not f22.
Regards, Bob S.
Thanks. That's probably going to save me a re-shoot.

Hi all,
This may be a known issue to istD owners but ...
I was checking out my new D-FA 100mm macro today
and noticed some unexpected behaviour.
While checking DOF, I noticed
down in any mode other than Manual
exposure mode, and then (on the DS) only if the "Aperture Ring Use"
custom function is set to "Permitted".
So ... To achieve what you want you set the lens to the A position,
set Av mode, and then set the aperture on the body to wh
the body is set to 'M'.
This is a bit annoying, since it does not allow you to set a fixed
aperture for good DOF, use automatic exposure, and check the
actual DOF in the viewfinder as well.

With a non-A lens, put the camera to manual (it won't meter/fire

However, I do not see if a DOF function is on there too.

The lever on the front does DOF. Looking at the front, from the front,
a counter-clockwise twist cocks the timer and exposes the little pin that
starts the timer buzzing. But twist that lever clockwise and the lens will
stop down.

I much prefer to use AF rather than manual as I have more confidence in its

would usually use manual focus as the AF is unlikely to focus on the exact

Yes, turn off auto focus. AF isn't suited for hyper focal focusing. Only
when you want the plane of focus to coincide with the subject is AF of much
help.

Hi,
it might be worth mentioning, for anybody who hasn't used a Leica,
that, unlike an slr, the image size in the viewfinder doesn't change
when you change the framelines. So whatever lens you have on the camera
the view through the finder is the same. The framelines are there
simply for framing

I'd say better than the mechanical one because it works even the lens was
set to 'A'
I prefer electronic DOF preview myself. My PZ-1p has mechanical and if you are
shooting in Av or program mode, you have to manually move the aperture ring off the A
setting to get the mechanical DOF preview to function. With electronic DOF, just touch
a button and the lens stops down

Personally, I still have trouble getting any useful idea of
depth of field by using the depth of field preview but I do find
it invaluable for judging the quality of the out-of-focus
background in macro shots. I tend to think of it as a "quality
of bokeh preview" button.
