Canon eos rebel g - Manual (Page 38)

This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a
near subject and far subject. It is effective for large-group photos and
landscapes.
The camera uses the three focusing points to detect the nearest subject
and the farthest subject.
A'DEP Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
■1 Set the Command Dial to A-DEP
and make sure the focus mode
switch on the lens is set to AF.
p Press the shutter button halfway to
^ focus the subject.
■ The active focusing points, the shutter
speed, and aperture are displayed in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel. The
area between the nearest subject covered
by a focusing point and the furthest subject
covered by another focusing point will be
in sharp focus.
Q Check the shutter speed and
aperture and take the picture.
In this example, the focus will be sharp from the
right subject covered by the right focusing point
up to the left subject covered by the left focusing
point,
■ 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,
• 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,
• Automatic depth-of-field AE cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to MF (or
M on some lenses).
