Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
When taking pictures of large groups or landscapes, the EOS D60 can automatically achieve a
sharp focus over a wide depth of field. All the subjects covered by the AF points, from those
close to the camera to those far away from the camera, can be taken clearly.
● In < > mode, the shutter speed and aperture value cannot be changed freely. If the
camera selects a slow shutter speed, the use of a tripod is recommended.
● Automatic depth-of-field AE cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to <MF >
(or < M > on older lenses). Set the switch to < AF >.
∗

1 Set the Mode Dial to < >.
2 Focus the picture.
● Place an AF point over the subject and
press the shutter button down halfway. (

● The focus will be sharp between the
subjects where the AF points flashes in red.
● You can check the depth of field beforehand
while the exposure is displayed. (

● In the example shown on the left, sharp
focus will be attained between the left-most
person and right-most person.
3 Check the display, then take the
picture.
● If the aperture value is not blinking, the
exposure is correct.
● Press the shutter button down fully.
If the aperture value is blinking, the exposure level is correct but the desired depth
of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther from the
subject.
● Regardless of the AF mode setting, ONE-SHOT AF will take effect.
● If you use a flash, the result will be the same as using < > (Program AE) mode
with flash.
