[VIEWFINDER INFORMATION]
If it is impossible to get the distance range in
focus, the lens minimum aperture value will start
blinking. Exposure, however, will still be correct
and you will get the best results under the existing
shooting conditions, (see helpful hints 41)

Move back from the subject and follow steps 2
through 7 again. If the minimum aperture
stops blinking, the distance range will be in
sharp focus and the exposure will be correct.
Use a wide-angle lens (or wide-angle side
when using a zoom lens) and follow steps 2
through 7 again. If the minimum aperture
stops blinking, the distance range will be in
sharp focus and the exposure will be correct.
Make sure that both values remain continuous­
ly lit.

When both values blink, exposure is incorrect.
Use an ND filter In bright settings and switch to
flash photography In dark settings.
When you try to focus extremely near and far
points the automatically-set shutter speed will
be comparatively slower and the long beeper
tone will sound to warn you of camera-shake.
Hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, do not change the
lens focal length after focusing the first point.
Always be sure to compose the picture first.
It is advisable to use a wide-angle lens to ob­
tain maximum depth-of-field effect. (A lens
focal length of more than 200mm is not
recommended when you want maximum
depth of field.)
Depth of field will be shallow if two points are
focused at the same shooting distance. When
you want to take a portrait, a telephoto lens is
recommended to strengthen the shallow ef­
fect.
In depth of field AE, exposure Is determined at
the moment of shutter release even If the AF
mode is set at ONE SHOT, (see p.24)
Depth of field AE cannot be used in flash
photography.
Press the shooting mode selector to clear the
depth of field AE while operating.
