Attention! The text in this document has been recognized automatically. To view the original document, you can use the "Original mode".
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 wide AF frame to detect the nearest and farthest
subjects to be in focus.
A'DEP
Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
Turn the Command Dial to <
A'DEP >■
Aim the wide AF frame over the
subjects and press the shutter
button halfway to focus.
Check the viewfinder display and
take the picture.
• In the sample photo, the focus will be
sharp from the left boy in the distance
to the right boy in the foreground
since both boys are covered by the
wide AF frame.
•
• 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 picture-taking 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 <
P
> mode.
• The <
A'DEP
> mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode
switch is set to
MF
(or
M
on older lenses).
