Q 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 seven AF points to detect the nearest
and farthest subjects to be in focus.
∗Q stands for Auto-depth of field.

the ISO speed.

If the aperture value 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 value. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera
steady or use a tripod.

If you use a flash, the result will be the same as using < T> (Program
AE) mode with flash.
