Peripheral light fall-off occurs in lenses whose characteristics make the 
image corners look darker. Color fri nging along subject outlines is 
another chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be corrected. 
The default setting is [ Enable] for both corrections.
1Select [Lens aberration 
correction].
 Under the [ z1] tab, select [Lens 
aberration correction ], then press 
< 0 >.
2Select the setting.
  Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
  Turn the < 5> dial to select 
[Peripheral illumin. ], then press

  Select [Enable ], then press .
  If [Correction data not available] is 
displayed, see “About the Lens 
Correction Data” on page 153.
3Take the picture.
  The image will be recorded with the 
peripheral illumination corrected.

Peripheral Illumination Correction
Depending on shooting conditions,  noise may appear on the image 
periphery.
  The correction amount applied will be  slightly lower than the maximum 
correction amount settable with Di gital Photo Professional (provided 
software, p.410).
  The higher the ISO speed, the lowe r the correction amount will be.

Chromatic Aberration Correction
If you play back a  1 image shot with the chro matic aberration corrected, 
the image will be displayed on the ca mera without the chromatic aberration 
correction applied. Check the chromati c aberration correction with Digital 
Photo Professional (pro vided software, p.410).

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
The camera already contains lens  peripheral illumination correction 
data and chromatic aberration correction data for approx. 25 lenses. If 
you select [ Enable], the peripheral illumination correction and 
chromatic aberration correction will be applied automatically for any 
lens whose correction data is  registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses have 
their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the 
correction data for unregistered l enses. For details, refer to the 
Software Instruction Manual (CD- ROM) for EOS Utility (p.412).

About the Lens Correction Data
  Corrections cannot be ap plied afterwards to JPEG images captured 
when [Disable ] was set.
  When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [ Disable] is 
recommended, even if [ Correction data available] is displayed.
  If you use the magnified view during  Live View shooting, the peripheral 
illumination correction a nd chromatic aberration co rrection will not be 
reflected in the image.
  If the effect of the correction is  not so visible, magnify the image and 
check it.
  The corrections are also applied  when an Extender is attached.
  If the correction data for the attach ed lens is not registered to the 
camera, the result will be  the same as when the correction is set to 
[ Disable ].
  If the lens does not have distance in formation, the correction amount will 
be lower.

About FoldersAs with “ 100EOS1D ” for example, the folder name starts with three digits (the 
folder number) followed by five alphan umeric characters. A folder can contain 
up to 9999 images (file number 0001  - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a 
new folder with the folder number increased by one is cr eated automatically. 
Also, if manual reset (p .159) is executed, a new  folder will be created 
automatically. Folders  numbered from 100 to  999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal ComputerWith the card open on the scre en, create a new folder named “ DCIM”. Open 
the DCIM folder and create as many  folders as necessary to save and 
organize your images.  The folder name must follow the format “100ABC_D”. 
The first three digits are the folder nu mber, from 100 to 999. The final five 
characters can be any comb ination of upper- and lower-case le tters from A to 
Z, numerals, and the unders core “_”. The space cannot be used. Also note 
that two folder names cannot share the  same three-digit folder number (for 
example, “ 100ABC_D” and “ 100W_XYZ”), even if the other  five characters in 
each name are different.

The file name has four alphanumeric characters 
followed by a four-digit  image number (p.158) and 
extension. The first four  alphanumeric characters 
are set upon factory ship ment and unique to the 
camera. However, you can change them.
With “User setting1”, you can change and register the four characters 
as desired. With “User setting2”, if you register three characters\
, the 
fourth character from the left will  be appended automatically to indicate 
the image size.

 Under the [ 51] tab, select [ File 
name ], then press < 0>.
2Select [Change User setting*].
  Turn the < 5> dial to select a

Settings
About User setting2When you select the “*** + image size” registered  with User setting2 and 
take pictures, a character that indica tes image-recording quality will be 
automatically appended as  the file name’s fourth character from the left. The 
meaning of the image size characters is as follows:
“***  L” =  3, 1  “*** M” = H, 41
“***  N” =  5 “***S” =  6, 61
When the image is transferred to a personal computer,  the automatically 
appended fourth character  will be included. You can then see the image size 
without having to open the imag e. RAW or JPEG images can be 
distinguished with the extension.
The first character cannot  be an underscore “_”.
 The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images , “.CR2” for RAW images, 
and “.MOV” for movies.
  When you shoot a movie with User setting2, the file name’s fourth 
character will be an  underscore “_”.

The four-digit file number is like the frame 
number on a roll of film. The captured images 
are assigned a sequential file number from 
0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can 
change how the file number is assigned.
1Select [File numbering].
 Under the [ 51] tab, select [ File 
numbering ], then press < 0>.
2Select the file numbering method.
  Turn the < 5> dial to select the 
desired setting, then press < 0>.
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target 
card (such as  f → g ), the file numbering continues in sequence up 
to 9999 for the images saved. This is  convenient when you want to save 
images numbered anywhere between 0001  to 9999 in multiple cards or 
folders into one folder in your personal computer.
If the replacement card or existing  folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file number ing of the new images may continue 
from the file numbering of the existi ng images in the card or folder. If 
you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-
formatted card each time.

3 File Numbering Methods
The file numbering restarts from  0001 each time the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target card 
(such as  f → g ), the file numbering restarts from 0001 for the new 
images saved. This is convenient  if you want to organize images 
according to cards or folders.
However, if the replacement card or existing folder already contains 
images recorded previously, the file  numbering of the new images may 
continue from the file numbering of  the existing images in the card or 
folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering starting from 
0001, use a newly formatted card each time.
To reset the file numbering to 000 1 or to start from file number 
0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering  manually, a new folder is created 
automatically and the file numbering  of images saved to that folder 
starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to  use different folders for the images 
taken yesterday and the ones taken  today, for example. After the 
manual reset, the file numbering retu rns to continuous or auto reset. 
(There will be no Manual re set confirmation screen.)

If the file number reaches  9999 in folder 999, shooting  will not be possible even 
if the card still has storage capacity.  A message explaining the need to replace 
the card will appear on the LCD monito r. Replace the card with a new one.
