:Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a
near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes.
The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest sub-
jects to be in focus.
∗ “A-DEP” stands for Auto-depth of field.
1
Turn the Command Dial to < >.
2
Focus the subject.
•
Move the AF point over the subject
and press the shutter button halfway.
•
All the subjects covered by the AF
points which flashed in red will be in
focus.
•
If you press the depth-of-field preview
button while the exposure reading is
displayed in the viewfinder, you can
see the depth of field. (→page 41)
3
Check the viewfinder display and
take the picture.
•
In the example above, the focus will
be sharp between the front person on
the left and the rear person on the
right.
• If the aperture blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the
desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or
move further away from the subjects.
• In this shooting mode, you cannot freely change the shutter speed and
aperture. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady
or use a tripod.
• If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the < > mode.
The < > mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to
<
MF
> (or <
M
> on older lenses).
