<p>Hi Bob,</p>
<p>I'm using a Canon EOS 600D along with the lens that came with it. The specs on the lens are "EFS 18-55mm".</p>
<p>I had these settings when I checked out image properties in details:<br /> F-stop f/5.6<br />Exposure time 1/80sec<br />ISO speed ISO-250<br />Focal length 55mm</p>
<p>I was in P mode and I chose f/5.6 to blur out the background. Also I was focusing manually because auto-focus seemed to be stuck in a loop of trying to zoom in and out.</p>
