You're going to have to be much more specific than this.

What f/16 are you referring to?

what monitor?

What camera?

Ignore the sunny 16 rule. With the camera on program see what the readout in the VF tells you. If you need a smaller aperture for DOF go to AV setting and adjust as needed. :thumbup:

on the 5D mark II it just has whole numbers

the f/16 is just "16"

the 1/125 is just "125"


is that what you're asking?
