Depth-of-field AE

Exposure Warnings

If the aperture blinks, the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. (However, you can still take the picture and obtain a proper exposure.) Use a wide-angle lens or move away from the subject and repeat steps 3 to 5.

If the 30” shutter speed and the lens’ maximum aperture (smallest f-number) blink, the scene is too dark and the picture cannot be taken in the depth-of-field AE mode.

If the 8000 shutter speed and the lens’ minimum aperture (largest f-number) blink, the scene is too bright. Use a neutral density (ND) filter to reduce the amount of light entering the camera.

When using a zoom lens, do not change the zoom focal length while using the depth-of-field AE mode.

After setting one or two dEP points, do not change the active focusing point. Doing so will cancel the dEP point(s) that has been set and you will have to start over with the newly selected focusing point.

If flash is used with the depth-of-field AE mode, the result will be the same as using Program AE with flash.

If depth-of-field AE is used with a lens having a focusing limiting switch (like the EF 300mm f/2.8 IS USM lens), set the switch to the maximum focusing distance range.
