[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 340003, member: 12496"] Depth of field refers to the depth of focus, so to speak, and probably that discussion referred to Live View showing the stopped down scene. It does show actual exposure (vs wide open lens in the viewfinder), but Depth of Field is Not about exposure extremes. What does 5 stops of grad mean? a ND filter? Exposure extremes of brightest sky and darkest shadow areas are tough. It's always a good plan to choose your scene better. Or modify your angles, maybe the bright sky can be eliminated. A graduated filter could help some cases. Or sometimes maybe you can use flash or reflectors to better fill the near shaded area. But all things are not always possible, and that is just photography, and I really doubt that is a Nikon/Canon issue. :) [/QUOTE]
