Hallo all,
I'd like to get some onions from you all. I'm currently on an E-series Olympus (four/thirds) but have moved away from stills, to video. Unfortunately the e-series doesn't shoot video so I'm hoping to pick up an EPL 3 so I can continue to use my flash and lenses. However, The big thing I want to achieve, and why I don't want to go down a standard camcorder route, is the narrow DoF. However, photography isn't my stronger aspect and is a necessary to my writing so I don't know as much as I could.
I've come across this which made me concerned that the camera wont like me trying to achieve my set DoF:

By default the camera will automatically adjust for any brightness changes in the scene while recording, for example when panning from dark to light areas, but you can lock the exposure before recording if you prefer (as long as you have the Fn button set to AEL).

I've a manual lens amongst my kit so I'm hoping I can set the f-stop and get what I'm after. Am I going to run into much trouble with this intention? Any advice appreciated!
