A-DEP
Automatic Depth-of-Field
AE.
.Wi
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.
* <
A-DEP
> stands for Auto-depth of field.
Set the Mode Dial to
<A-DEP>.
Focus the subject.
Move the AF point over the subject
and press the shutter button halfway.
(04)
All the subjects covered by the AF
points flashing
in
red will be
in
focus.
Hold down the shutter button halfway
and press the depth-of-field preview
button to see the depth of field (range
of acceptable focus). (p.85)
Take the picture.
--
The <
A-DEP
> mode cannot be used if the lens' focus mode switch
is
set
to <MF>. The result
will be the same as using the <P > mode.
If the "30"" shutter speed blinks, it indicates that the subject is too dark.
Increase the ISO speed.
If the "4000" shutter speed blinks, it indicates that the subject is too
bright. Decrease the ISO speed.
[Q]
If the aperture value blinks, it indicates that the exposure level
is
correct
but the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. 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 flash, the result will be the same as using
<P>
with flash.
