Thanks for that explanation, ChaBo. I'm well aware of the effect of Depth of Field and how to change it. Just getting confused by the inverse relationship between lower F-Stops and higher Depth of Field. To make it simple, the larger the F-Stop (smaller aperture) the larger/wider the DOF, correct?

But it's really hard to actually see the effect of the DOF Preview button through the viewfinder. It just seems to darken part of the picture, depending on the F-Stop, not really looking more or less blurry.

OK, now on to shoot more Christmas night pictures with really high ISO settings... Even got the Disneyland fireworks from the ferry when shooting the photo above, but it's really far away, too far for my 135mm zoom.
