DEPTH-OF-FIELD
AE
EOS
provides
a
unique
way
of
controlling
the
precise
zone
of
sharp
focus
through
Canon's
exclusive
Depth-of-Field
AE.
All
models
except
the
620
have
this
feature,
which
makes
use
of
both
the
AF
and
AE
capabilities
of
the
system.
The
idea
is
to
register
the
near
and
far
pOints
that
need
to
be
sharp
in
the
scene,
using
AF.
The
camera
then
calculates
the
widest
possible
aperture
that
will
render
the
zone
between
the
two
points
sharply,
sets
the
required
intermediate
focusing
position,
and
finally
sets
the
correct
shutter
speed
using
aperture
priority.
This
method
allows
complete
control
of
depth-of-field.
It
permits
the
photographer
to
make
the
zone
of
sharpness
shallow
or
deep,
close
to
the
camera
or
further
away.
If
the
selected
zone
of
sharpness
is
too
deep
for
the
lens
to
handle,
the
camera
warns
the
photographer
with
a
blinking
aperture
display
in
the
viewfinder.
In
this
case,
the
photo
can
still
be
taken
and
the
camera
will
do
the
best
it
can
on
depth-of-field.
Otherwise,
the
photographer
can
reset
the
camera
and
start
working
on
the
next
shot.
EL
ILLUMINATION
EL
stands
for
Electro-Luminescence.
EOS
uses
EL
for
the
external
LCD
(Liquid
Crystal
Display)
data
panels
on
top
of
the
620, 630,
and
EOS-l
cameras
as
well
as
the
back
panels
of
the
420
EZ
and
430
EZ
Speedlites.
This
allows
soft,
blue-tinted
illumination
of
important
information
so
that
EOS
remains
easy
to
operate
even
in
very
poor
light
conditions.
Canon's
EL
panel
consists
of
a
transparent
conductive
film,
a
fluorescing
layer,
a
non-conductive
reflecting
layer,
and
a
back
electrode,
all
sandwiched
between
2
sheets
of
polyester
film.
The
EL
panel
is
placed
underneath
the
LCD
panel,
and
is
activated
by
pressing
a
button.
To
conserve
battery
power,
the
display
automatically
shuts
off
after
6
or
8
seconds.
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC DIAPHRAGM (EMD)
Canon
uses
an
EMD
in
every
EF
lens
as
an
aperture
control
device.
The
EMD
consists
of
a
conventional
set
of
aperture
blades
attached
to
a
stepping
motor.
Ideal
for
aperture
drive,
the
stepping
motor
has
a
small
rotor
which
allows
good
start-stop
response
with
high
wear
resistance
and
long
life.
Compared
to
mechanical
aperture
control,
the
EMD
yields
a
great
improvement
in
precision,
while
at
the
same
time
increasing
consistency
and
improving
reliability.
Another
benefit
of
electronic
diaphragm
control
is
simplified
depth-of-field
preview
in
every
exposure
,
mode,
including
Program
and
Shutter
Priority.
