Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical Characteristics Lens Correction Data The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered (stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, chromatic aberration correction, and diffraction correction will be applied automatically. For lenses incorporating the correction data, it is not necessary to register the correction data to the camera.
Reducing FlickerN If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. This feature enables the camera to detect the flickering frequency and take pictures when exposure and colors are less affected by flickering. 1 Select [z6: Anti-flicker shoot.].
Reducing Flicker ooIn the [t], [d], or [f] mode, if the shutter speed changes during continuous shooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at different shutter speeds, the color tone may become inconsistent. To avoid inconsistent color tones, use [t], [s], or [a] mode at a fixed shutter speed. ooColor tone of captured images may vary between [Enable] and [Disable]. ooShutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed may change when you start shooting (even with AE lock).
Setting the Color SpaceN The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB.
