can you do a nice DOF on a face from a fiew feet away. in other words, can you blur the background if your subject is still a bit far from the lens? or does it basically have to be a closeup?
Dude I am so sorry for never replying. And I'm sure you don't even care to know now, but I will go ahead and reply haha.
Really in this this shot there is a fairly shallow depth of field because it is low light and the aperture on the camera is open wide. That results in a shallow DOF. The more light, the less DOF. Really camcorders such as this don't have a shallow DOF. It has to do with their small ccd lens. So basically to get shallow DOF with this, it has to be low light.
pretty cool man. how do you like the gs500?
