Re: TG-06 and shutter speed

Auto ISO is not a mode, but rather a setting you can apply in Aperture Priority (or Program) mode, so, yes, you can set aperture. Auto ISO will limit minimum shutter speed as long as you have enough light to get a proper exposure within the maximum ISO you have specified and aperture you have selected.

Regarding DOF, it's a bad news/good news situation. The bad news is that the true aperture range in this camera is rather limited. Zoomed all the way out you have three apparent aperture settings--f/2.0, f/2.8, and f/8, but only the first two are real; the f/8 setting is attained via a neutral density filter and gives you no more DOF than the f/2.8 setting. Same principle applies at full zoom--selectable apertures are f/4.9, f/6.3, and f/18. Good news is that DOF is pretty good with the tiny sensor and associated tiny lens focal lengths involved.
