The camera can compensate for these phenomena by using [ : Lens aberration correction]. 1. Select [ 2. Select an option. : Lens aberration correction].
3. Select a setting. Confirm that the name of the attached lens and [Correction data available] are displayed. If [Correction data not available] or [ Optimizer. ] is displayed, see Digital Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
Distortion Correction Distortion (image warping) can be corrected. Caution Specifying distortion correction may subtly change the angle of view, resulting in images that are cropped a little and seem slightly less sharp. The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies. Note With RF or RF-S lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.
Focus Breathing Correction Angle of view fluctuations from changes in focal position during movie recording can be reduced. This feature can be configured when [Distortion correction] is set to [Enable]. Caution [Focus breathing correction] is not displayed in still photo shooting. Applying focus breathing correction will narrow the angle of view. The extent of narrowing depends on shooting conditions.
Digital Lens Optimizer Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution. If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual. Caution Image processing after you shoot takes longer when set to [High] (which causes the access lamp to be illuminated longer).
Chromatic Aberration Correction Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected. Note [Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Standard] or [High].
Diffraction Correction Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the effects of correction. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be. For movie recording, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not possible.) The effect of diffraction correction cannot be checked on the screen at the time of shooting.
Note General notes for lens aberration correction Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc. If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after shooting is recommended. Corrections are applied even when an extender or life-size converter is attached.
Long Exposure Noise Reduction Noise such as dots of light or banding that tends to occur in long exposures at shutter speeds of one sec. or slower can be reduced. 1. Select [ 2. Set a reduction option. : Long exp. noise reduction]. Auto For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This setting is effective enough in most cases. Enable Noise reduction is performed for all images exposed for 1 sec. or longer.
Caution With [Auto] or [Enable] set, noise reduction after you shoot may take as long as exposure for the shot. Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting. [BUSY] is displayed as noise is reduced, and the shooting screen is not displayed until processing is finished, when you can shoot again.
High ISO Speed Noise Reduction You can reduce the image noise generated. This function is especially effective when shooting at high ISO speeds. When shooting at low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) can further be reduced. 1. Select [ 2. Set the level. : High ISO speed NR]. Low, Standard, High The camera applies an amount of noise reduction corresponding to your specified level.
Caution Precautions on Multi Shot Noise Reduction If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may become smaller. Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots. Using a tripod is recommended. If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages. Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
Dust Delete Data Acquisition Preparation Dust Delete Data Appending Dust Delete Data used to erase dust spots can be appended to images in case sensor cleaning leaves dust on the sensor. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase the dust spots automatically. Preparation Use an RF or EF lens. Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper. Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer. Set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus manually at infinity (∞).
2. Select [OK]. After the automatic self-cleaning of the sensor is performed, a message will appear. Although there will be a mechanical sound of the shutter during the cleaning, no picture is taken.
3. Shoot a plain white object. Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper) filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–1.0 ft.). Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if there is no card in the camera. When the picture is taken, the camera will start collecting the Dust Delete Data. When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will appear. If the data is not obtained successfully, an error message will appear.
Dust Delete Data Appending The camera will append the Dust Delete Data obtained to all shots from now on. Acquiring Dust Delete Data immediately before shooting is recommended. For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual. File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.

Servo AF Characteristics Case Details Case 1: Versatile Multi-Purpose Setting Case 2: Continue to Track Subjects, Ignoring Possible Obstacles Case 3: Instantly Focus on Subjects Suddenly Entering AF Points Case 4: For Subjects That Accelerate or Decelerate Quickly Case A: Tracking Automatically Adapts to Subject Movement Parameters Adjusting Case Parameters Shooting with Servo AF can be easily tailored to your subjects or shooting situations by selecting a Case * option.
Case Details Case 1 to Case A are five combinations of settings for “Tracking sensitivity” and “Acceleration/deceleration tracking.” Referring to the following table, select the case for your subject and shooting situation.
Case 1: Versatile Multi-Purpose Setting Default • Tracking sensitivity: 0 • Accel./decel. tracking: 0 Standard setting suited to moving subjects in general. Suitable for many kinds of subjects and scenes. In the following situations, select [Case 2] to [Case 4] instead: non-subjects moving across AF points, elusive subjects, or subjects that suddenly appear or change speed.
Case 2: Continue to Track Subjects, Ignoring Possible Obstacles Default • Tracking sensitivity: Locked on: –1 • Accel./decel. tracking: 0 Setting to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move across AF points, or if the subject strays from AF points. Effective if you prefer the focus not to switch to nonsubjects or the background.
Case 3: Instantly Focus on Subjects Suddenly Entering AF Points Default • Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: +1 • Accel./decel. tracking: +1 Setting to focus on a series of subjects at different distances in the AF points, one after another. Focus switches to any new subject that appears in front of the target subject. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.
Case 4: For Subjects That Accelerate or Decelerate Quickly Default • Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: 0 • Accel./decel. tracking: +1 Setting to keep tracking and focusing on subjects even if they suddenly change speed. Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/deceleration, or sudden stops. Note Try setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] to keep up with subjects that change speed significantly from moment to moment ( ).
Case A: Tracking Automatically Adapts to Subject Movement Useful when you prefer to shoot with parameters set automatically, based on how subjects change. Tracking sensitivity and acceleration/deceleration tracking are set automatically.
Parameters Tracking sensitivity Setting for Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to non-subjects moving across AF points or subjects straying from AF points. 0 Standard setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general. Locked on: –2 / Locked on: –1 The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move across AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The –2 setting makes the camera keep tracking the target subject longer than the –1 setting.
Acceleration/deceleration tracking Setting for subject-tracking sensitivity in response to sudden, significant changes in speed, as when subjects suddenly start or stop moving. 0 Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed). –2 / –1 Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed). Effective when a setting of 0 makes focus unstable, due to slight subject movement or an obstruction in front of the subject.

Do not use any battery packs other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E17.
Shooting-related problems The lens cannot be attached. To attach EF or EF-S lenses, you will need a mount adapter. The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses ( ). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted ( ). Slide the card's write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting ( ). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space ( , ). Shooting is not possible if the AF point turns orange when you attempt to focus.
The continuous shooting speed is slow. High-speed continuous shooting may be slower depending on the battery level, ambient temperature, flicker reduction, shutter speed, aperture value, subject conditions, brightness, AF operation, type of lens, use of flash, shooting settings, and other conditions. For details, see Selecting the Drive Mode, or see File size/number of shots available and Maximum burst for still photos. The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
Expanded ISO speeds cannot be selected for still photo shooting. Check the [ISO speed range] setting under [ : ISO speed settings]. Expanded ISO speeds are not available when [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced]. Expanded ISO speeds are not available when [ : HDR shooting ] is set to [Enable]. Even if I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image comes out bright. Set [ : Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable] ( ).
The flash always fires at full output. Flash units other than EL/EX series Speedlites used in autoflash mode always fire at full output ( ). The flash always fires at full output when [Flash metering mode] in external flash Custom Function settings is set to [1:TTL] (autoflash) ( ). Flash exposure compensation cannot be set. If flash exposure compensation is already set with the Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera.
The ISO speed cannot be set for movie recording. ISO speed is set automatically in [ ] or [ ] recording mode. In [ ] mode, you can manually set the ISO speed ( ). The minimum speed in the ISO speed range is ISO 200 when [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced]. Expanded ISO speeds cannot be selected for movie recording. Check the [ISO speed range] setting under [ : ISO speed settings].
A time code is not added. Time codes are not added when you record High Frame Rate movies with [Count up] in [ : Time code] set to [Free run] ( ).
