Self-Timer - Canon EOS 1000F Instructions Manual

Checking the Exposure
e If the minimum aperture value of the
lens in use blinks, clear the focus points
by turning the command dial to another
position and returning it to DEP. Move
back from the subject or switch to a
wide-angle lens or zoom lens' wide-
angle setting and repeat steps #2
through 4. When the aperture value
stops blinking, the distance range will be
sharply focused and correct exposure
will be obtained,
If both the shutter speed and the aper-
ture value blink, the exposure is not cor-
rect. Use an ND filter in bright
situations. The flash can not be com-
bined with this mode.
Additional Information
eTo cancel Depth-of-Field AE in mid-
operation, set the command dial to
another position.
When using a zoom lens, do not change
the focal length after setting the first
point. Always set the focal length first.
e Wide-angle lenses are best used in this
mode for maximum depth-of-field effect.
Lenses with a focal length longer than
200 mm are not recommended for deep
depth of field.
e This mode can also be used to minimize
depth of field by focusing on the same
point both times. A telephoto lens gives
portraits the best shallow depth-of-field
effect.
e If the focus points are extremely near
and far, the shutter speed may be very
slow. We recommend using a tripod.
