Canon EOS Rebel 2000 - 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 7 focusing points to detect the nearest and farthest
subjects to be in focus.

Aim the focusing points over the
subjects and press the shutter
button halfway to focus.
• The focusing points which achieve
focus will light on the display. Sharp
focus will be attained for the nearest
and farthest subjects covered by the
focusing points.
• While the exposure settings are
dispiayed in the viewfinder, you can
check the depth of field (see page 47).
Check the viewfinder information
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.
• 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 < P > mode.
• The < A-DEP > mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to
MF
(or
M
on older lenses).
