Canon 550d 50mm 1.8 lense question
Hey everyone.
I recently just bought my self a canon 550d with a 50mm 1.8 lense. I dont know much about cameras and lenses however i did my research and this seemed to be a good buy for films and pictures.
Anyway… My question is that when filming on taking pictures is there anyway to turn off the depth of field so that i get a completly clear picture? Or would i need another lense to do that?
Thanks,
Nic Hawkins

First, you should try a DOF (Depth of Field) calculator:
