QAutomatic Depth-of-Field AE

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 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus.

∗<Q> stands for Auto-depth of field.

1 Turn the Mode Dial to <Q>.

2Focus the subject.

•Move the AF point over the subject

and press the shutter button halfway.

• Focus is achieved at all the AF point marks that light.

3 Take the picture.

The <Q> mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to <MF>. The result will be the same as using the <T> mode.

• If the aperture value 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 value. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

•Regardless of the AF mode setting, ONE-SHOT AF will take effect.

•If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the <T> mode.
