Few questions about D7i

[bad]

1. In D7i manual I can see that max aperture is from F2.8 to F3.5?

My Oly 4000z is from F2.8 to F11!!

Is it true that D7i has so short aperture? How can you regulate DOF, when you have two objects at different distances??

2. Does D7i support super macro mode? Can someone post it here,please?

3. I can see in manual also some "4x electronic magnification", is this some sort of "macro digital zoom"??

4. Bulb mode is max 30 sec. Must I hold shutter button all the time till "16 sec"?, or I can program it to do it by itself?

5. Is it worth to give 400 € more for D7Hi??



thanx a lot for answers...

Won't try answering all your questions I I can only lust for a D7i, don't own one!
I think you'll find that what Minolta means is that these are the maximum available aperture settings at wide angle and full zoom respectively.

You misunderstood , those values are MAX aperture corresponding to 28 mm and 200 mm focal.
@ 28 mm : F 2.8 to F 8
@ 200 mm : F 3.5 to F 9.5

Not really, the picture is not affected, just the displays (EVF and LCD ) is magnified to make the manual focus easy.

Yes, you have to hold the shutter button , or the remote button, or use a external timer.
