Canon EOS 3000 N - Manual (Page 50)

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 3 AF frames to detect the nearest and farthest
subjects to be in focus.
“A-DEP” stands for Auto-depth of field.
A’DEP
Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
Turn the Command Dial to <A-DEP>.
Aim the AF frames over the
subjects and press the shutter
button halfway to focus.
® The focusing points which achieve
focus will light on the display. Sharp
focus will be attained for the nearest
and farthest subjects covered by the
AF frames.
Check the viewfinder information
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.
#The<A-DEP > mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to
<iVlF> (or <IV1> on older lenses).

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 <P> mode.
