OK here we go, in this example I will use this lens: Lumix 20mm f1.7 Lens.
It is a prime lens so fixed focus, so let us only talk of primes only.
In terms of auto focusing how does it work if I manually keep the aperture at f1.7 so shallow depth of field, more light etc. Now it is fixed focus so if I have the aperture fully open can I only have a subject in focus up close, or is focusing different to focal length etc.
If I put it this was, I have the camera on end of table and a flower in front of lens with aperture at f1.7 it has nice bokeh etc. Then I choose to move flower further back but aperture at f1.7 will it be able to focus on the flower or not? If I was using this lens would it be shutter speed that I control and leave the camera to change aperture to keep subject in focus at different distances.
Please help I'm confusing myself lol, and without camera/lens to test I can't work it out through experimenting
Do people shoot shutter priority over aperture or do they set it to manual and control both
