Hmm, I think I'd prefer it the other way around: So the soft-focus area is previewed as shaded, if it has to be shaded at all. On the old SLR non-digital cams you could press a button and preview the focus as you would see in the final shot because the button would mechanically open the lens to the widest aperture (lowest value f#) you have selected. I assume you don't have to always view any focus shading.
You'll find that in time you won't have to think too hard about it (anything not to over-exercise the peanut, eh?) because you'll become very familiar with the effect which a particular aperture setting will give you according to the lens. It's a bit like knowing instinctively which gear you are in (on the car, not which clothes you're wearing!).
The wider the lens angle, the greater the depth of focus field. So a telephoto lens usually has a much shallower dof.

Don't know why but that first pic of white flowers is definitely my fave.
Some very nice shots dude. Wish I had the time and money to get back into photography. I keep lusting after a nikon SLR. Used to love messing around with my dad's old SLR and learning about concepts like aperture etc.

Some great photography there.... i particularly like these ones!
RE: DOF button!
When you press it... if stops the lens down to what ever F number you have selected, thus reducing the amount of light allowed into the camera (look thru the lens whilst pressing it) which is why the view finder goes darker if youve selected a high f number.

Don't worry about it, I worked in the photographic industry for 10 years and I still don't quite grasp it :grin:
