A-DEP
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 nine 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.89)
Take the picture.
o 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 "8000" shutter speed blinks, it indicates that the subject
is
too
bright. Decrease the ISO speed.
[i]
If the aperture 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. 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.
