Automatic Depth-of-Field AE

When taking pictures of large groups or landscapes, the EOS D60 can automatically achieve a sharp focus over a wide depth of field. All the subjects covered by the AF points, from those close to the camera to those far away from the camera, can be taken clearly.

●In <> mode, the shutter speed and aperture value cannot be changed freely. If the camera selects a slow shutter speed, the use of a tripod is recommended.

●Automatic depth-of-field AE cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to < MF >

(or <M > on older lenses). Set the switch to <AF >.

∗ stands for Auto-Depth of field.

1 Set the Mode Dial to < >.

Focus the picture.

2 ● Place an AF point over the subject and press the shutter button down halfway. (4 )

● The focus will be sharp between the subjects where the AF points flashes in red.

● You can check the depth of field beforehand while the exposure is displayed. (→73)

● In the example shown on the left, sharp focus will be attained between the left-most person and right-most person.

Check the display, then take the3 picture.

● If the aperture value is not blinking, the exposure is correct.

● Press the shutter button down fully.

If the aperture value is blinking, the exposure level is correct but the desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther from the subject.

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

● If you use a flash, the result will be the same as using < > (Program AE) mode with flash.
