Objects in the foreground and background will be in focus automatically.

automatically.

Set the Mode Dial to < 8>.

Focus the subject.
Aim the AF points over the subjects
and press the shutter button halfway
(0).
All the subjects covered by the AF
points flashing in red will be in focus.
If focus is not achieved, the picture
cannot be taken.

Take the picture.
The aperture display in the viewfinder blinks.
The exposure is correct, but the desired depth of field cannot be
obtained. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther away from
the subjects.
The shutter speed display in the viewfinder blinks.
If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it means that the subject is too dark.
Increase the ISO speed. If the “4000” shutter speed blinks, it means
that the subject is too bright. Decrease the ISO speed.
A slow shutter speed has been set.
Use a tripod to steady the camera.
I want to use flash.
Flash can be used, however, the result will be the same as using the
mode with flash. The desired depth of field will not be obtained.
