Attention! The text in this document has been recognized automatically. To view the original document, you can use the "Original mode".

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 wide AF frame to detect the nearest and farthest

subjects to be in focus.

Automatic Depth-of-Field AE

Turn the Command Dial to <

A'DEP >■

Aim the wide AF frame over the

subjects and press the shutter

button halfway to focus.

Check the viewfinder display 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

since both boys are covered by the

wide AF frame.

•

• 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 picture-taking 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 <

> mode.

• The <

A'DEP

> mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode

switch is set to
