Canon EOS 650 - Manual (Page 22)

(5) Depth of Field AE (EOS 650 Only)
[PURPOSE]
This mode makes everything from a certain point
in the foreground to the background in focus, us­
ing both the AF function and the depth of field.
The camera automatically sets the correct aper­
ture value and corresponding shutter speed for
the lighting conditions. Use this mode for land­
scapes and large-group commemorative shots.
[SETTING]
1) While pressing the shooting mode selector,
turn the electronic input dial until “DEPTH” ap­
pears in the display panel.
