Lets just say that i get a picture of a bird 100m away and i want to do it in a way that bird has sharp focus while rest of the surrounding to be blur. (lets just take it as long distance bokeh) My question is, what other functions and features of my camera (D5200) that i can use for this purpose ? are things like 'metering' can help me on this ?Note : May be the example i quoted (bird) may not be the best, but i hope you got the point that i'm making. I just want to know other than aperture, what other built-in features and functions can help me change DOF.</blockquote>
