as a result i talked to a tech at canon today. i also read manuals for T6s as well as the SL1. the canon tech told me that the DOF preview button only works in aperture mode on all rebels and the 80D - you need to have a 7D (she specified a 7D ll) to use the DOF preview button in manual mode.
The tech is wrong. You can use the DOF preview button in manual mode.
In every creative zone mode on every EOS camera ever made (just tried it on my 650 from 1987). If it has a DOF preview button it will stop down the iris in a PASM mode.
it appears you know more about this camera than canon! i just dropped to f/22, tried the DOF preview button one more time, and voila - i could see it stop way down in both the OVF and the screen. thank you! i feel much better about the camera now
Whenever anyone says you can't do something with a camera, immediately try doing it. You'll be amazed how often they're wrong.
next time i'll skip the manufacturer if i have a question and come to dpreview. that worked better with sony, too, where two reps told me one of my cameras was missing a feature that a user here immediately told me how to access.
A bit like people who believe what they read on the Internet, "reps" and "techs" generally only know what they are taught to say, not what's actually true.
