I'm starting to wonder about the IQ (not meaning Image Quality) of Canon
shooters or at least how Canon seems to "rate" them.
These are Tips for semi-pros:

"Individual portraits and group photographs
The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. Use a larger
aperture for an individual portrait
(for example F8). This will accentuate the person you are photographing. If
you would you like to shoot
a group photograph in which everyone is sharply in focus, select a smaller
aperture, for example F16.
Try using both possibilities step by step in a single situation and compare
the results with each other.
Look especially at depth and blur."

I guess it was too difficult for them to include information about the
difference between tele and wide angle lenses.
Maybe that's in the real Pro advice?

"If your camera allows *this, you can adjust the light metering
yourself. Consider beforehand which part of the photograph
you want to be properly lit. **In the case of a portrait, this will
usually be the face. With 'partial spot metering' you can
measure very precisely. Certainly in difficult situations,
such as high contrasts, this can be worthwhile."

*LOL, which "semi-pro" shoots with a camera that doesn't allow this?
Caramba! Even my old crappy Powershot has 3 different light metring modes.
**I wouldn't have guessed this one....
