 ===== Suggested settings =====
+  * **Image Stabilization** - It is possibile to use the **S-IS** (Still Image Stabilization) with a manual lens, but you have to inform the camera about the focal length of the lens. From the //Super Control Panel// choose //Image Stabilization// and then press INFO.
   * **Live View Boost** - Disable Live View Boost for the mode you will use (see p.101 of the manual). If Live View Boost is enabled, exposure compensation is not visible in the monitor and also the histogram does not reflect what will be the actual exposure.
   * **Brightness histogram** - Configure the LV-info (live view information display) to include the brightness histogram (see p.21 and p.101 of the manual). You can configure //Custom display 1// or //Custom display 2//).

+===== Depth of field =====
+The **[[wp>Hyperfocal distance|hyperfocal distance]]** is the distance to focus to have the max depth of field at the given aperture and focal length. All objects in the DoF range are into an "acceptable" focus. The DoF near limit is half the hyperfocal distance, the  far limit is inifinity.

+==== Depth of field in portraits ====
+Here is an handy table to know the depth of field when shoting portraits. I think that the wider apertures of the Meike (f/numbers below 4.7) are extremely effective starting from medium or more distant shots. With close-ups, care must be taken that not all parts of the head may be in focus.
