thanks for the advice! i love using the DOF in my pix, just give it such a great lookin' pic! but at times, seems as if i can't turn the the f/ down lower than 5.5. i'm assuming the there's not enough lighting. i'm still using the semi-auto modes.
Even with the semi-auto modes you can make minor adjustments to settings.

f/5.5 may be the lowest setting for your lens for that given focal length. Keep in mind that zoom lenses won't always have the same focal ratio across the entire focal length range. Example, a 70-210mm lens might have a focal ratio of f/4-f/5.6. The good thing is that with still life, you can always use longer shutter speeds if you want more DOF under low light situations.
Even with the semi-auto modes you can make minor adjustments to settings.

thanks again for your input!
