Page 55 highlights

3. Depth-of-Field AE [DEP] This mode places everything between two freely set points in the foreground and background within the zone of focus, effective for making sure everyone in a large group picture or everything in a landscape photo is rendered sharp. After you designate the near and far points in the scene, the camera automatically sets the optimum focus position and the aperture necessary to achieve the required depth of field, then sets the shutter speed to achieve the correct exposure. The near and far points can be designated using the selected focusing point in manual focusing point selection mode, or using the center point in automatic focusing point selection mode. • Depth-of-field AE is not possible when the lens' focus mode switch is set to "M". Make sure the focus mode switch is set to "AF". ● Using Manual Focusing Point Selection Mode 1 Select the desired focusing point.
