I have a Canon 40D and a EFS 10-22mm Canon lens. The aperture "range" for the lens is 3.5-4.5.

My question is when I shoot in Av mode and crank the aperture setting on my camera past the "range", to

a smaller f-stop, say to 5.6 or 6.3, what is actually happening since the lens only goes to 4.5? I am

shooting indoor architecture stuff and still playing with getting the right settings. I am still pretty new at

all this. Please don't say read my manual as I have read all my manuals and then some, just trying to learn

all of this stuff from scratch is a little overwhelming.

Thanks from a rookie,

Brent

sorry forgot to mention I will be using a tripod

I am trying to get some good recommendations for settings on my canon 40D. I am

shooting a house at night that has specialty exterior lighting (spotlights that

shine up the corners of the house etc).

I have the Canon 18-135mm lens.

Thanks

Sorry I have a Canon 10-22mm lens

I meant I dont own an external flash. I only have the built in flash..sorry.

I am trying to get good interior shots for Realtors. I have been told not to

use flash. Any suggestions on my camera settings (Canon 40D) I dont have any

external equip, just camera and tripod.

Thanks

yea I have read it...I think the problem is understanding some of the terms (photographic terms) that arent explained in the manual. I am off to get a basic photography book this week.

Thanks this worked (QCD wheel with pwr switch in 2nd pos, dont know why the QCD wheel doesnt work with pwr in the 1st "on" position). One more question.

My lens is a 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 but when I got adjust the f-stop on the camera it goes all the way down to 3.5 and up to 22. I am assuming it only maxes at 5.6 regardless if you set it higher on the camera?

I have a 40D that I was given as a gift...I am a very rookie photographer,

getting more into it. I have the camera on "M" and can set the ISO and Shutter

speed, but cant figure out how to set the aperture (f-stop)?

Thanks
