Railfan Technology > Olympus Stylus 7000 questions

Does anyone out there own an Olympus Stylus 7000? If so, can you tell me if there's a way to manually adjust the f-stop? I see it displayed when I press the shutter release halfway, but I've gone through the entire manual and all menu options I can find and still haven't found a way to adjust it. It seems to default to an f-stop of 3.5 - 4.3, which hasn't been very useful for model photography.

Thanks for any advice you can offer,

Joe

I don't have that model, but most digicams have a macro mode(usually indicated by a tulip icon). This should help a great deal with photographing models.

Not so! Macro mode usually just gets you close focusing. Unless you can decrease the aperture (ie: a larger f#) you can not get the depth of field needed for good model RR photography.
