Tried the Blur function in Guide Mode but seem it's totally useless:
1. When trying to get more Blur effect, I can't see anything in liveview.
2. Shouldn't the screen display how much of Blurring everytime I adjust the bar. If I can see everything while zooming in or out, why this Blurring effect doesn't work the same way?
3. Was told that I have to take a shot and see the result. If not happy, try adjusting the blurring until satisfied. What a crap.
4. Why can't it have WYSIWYG in the screen before shooting? This should also apply for Motion & Contrast effect too. Shouldn't the camera already know and display the end result everytime an adjustment (f-stop, shutter speed, ISO,etc) is made and pressing the shutter is basically the same as pressing the Enter key in a laptop.
5. Apparently, Canon 600D have the same problem.
My previous Oly EP-L1 have the same function and the DoF works but because of it's smaller sensor, I can't see much changes. That's why I'm looking at DSLR that have the same function. Just want an easy to use DSLR without having to know anything about f-stop, shutter speed, etc. Only need some prime lens and that should work for me. Currently using Sony A33 (like the Panorama feature) and hope it's new replacement will have a guide mode that can do what I want. Just need a good DSLR with zero learning curve. PnS & Prosummer cameras are just not good enough.
