Canon EOS 3000 N - Manual (Page 50)

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 3 AF frames to detect the nearest and farthest
subjects to be in focus.
“A-DEP” stands for Auto-depth of field.

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 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 flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the
mode.
