Depth program


An exposure mode that is part of a program that allows the aperture and shutter speed to be selected automatically. This mode is used to get the greatest possible depth of focus while yet retaining a shutter speed that is fast enough to allow for hand-held photography. The varying subject distances that are measured by the multipoint autofocus technology of some cameras are also taken into account, and the focus is changed to suit the subject distance being photographed.
