I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the depth of field control ring.
My D40 says I must lock it to F22, so what is the purpose of having a ring which moves if it should always be locked?
I turned the camera to Manual mode and tried to take pictures with different ring settings but it won't work. Found the manual online which didn't explain anything.
As the lens will not auto focus with the D40 it would be really useful sometimes if I could take pictures where the area in focus isn't so narrow. Is it possible?
