## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I make my background blurry while using this camera ? Can it only work for photos or can my video background be blurry as well ?**
A: Use the aperture priority or manual mode with the aperture as wide open as possible (~2.3). Then make sure your primary subject is relatively close the camera. The closer to the camera, the greater the effect you are seeking.

**Q: Can I shoot raw with this camera?**
A: While an excellent camera for trips where luggage weight is a concern, the SX40 still uses a sensor many times smaller than the DSLR Canons.  Stepping up to a Rebel or EOS will give you RAW and a sensor size nearly 12 times larger.  In film and digital a larger surface area recording the image is better in terms of light sensitivity (digital) and image quality.  You would gain a view finder that is significantly better with the DSLR plus a bit more latitude in image manipulation should you wish to explore Photo Shop's capabilities.  The downside is a larger camera body and an expensive lens collection.  Since you are asking about RAW it is implied you would like to view the image without the artificial software adjustments and JPEG limitations imparted by the camera.  Maybe the suggestion of the SX50 is the right (cheapest) way to go until you want more and better.  The SX50 steps the optical zoon up to 1200mm from 840mm in the SX40.

**Q: Can I add lens to it**
A: I think you're supposed to be able to add filter and macro lenses to it (thin little "add on" lenses to get extreme close ups, cut glare,.. that kind of thing). The lens it comes with does not come off - as far as I can tell.

**Q: When traveling, is it possible to charge the battery in 220 V?**
A: You would have to have a seperate adapter to convert 220 to 110. That goes for anything.
