3 Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
The camera already contains lens peripheral light correction data for 
about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [ Enable], the peripheral light 
correction will be applied automatical ly for any lens whose correction 
data has been registered in the camera.
With the EOS Utility (provided softwa re), you can check which lenses 
have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also 
register the correction data for unregi stered lenses. For details, see the 
Software Instruction Manual  (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility.
About the Lens Correction Data
 For JPEG images already captured,  lens peripheral light correction 
cannot be applied.
  Depending on shooting conditions , noise might appear on the image 
periphery.
  When using a third-pa rty lens, setting the correction to [ Disable] is 
recommended, even if [ Correction data available] is displayed.
 Lens peripheral light co rrection is applied even when an Extender is 
attached.
  If the correction data for the attached  lens has not been registered to the 
camera, the result will be  the same as when the correction is set to 
[ Disable ].
  The correction amount applied will be  slightly lower than the maximum 
correction amount settable with Di gital Photo Professional (provided 
software).
  If the lens does not have distance in formation, the correction amount will 
be lower.
  The higher the ISO speed, the lowe r the correction amount will be.

About FoldersAs with “ 100EOS5D ” for example, the folder na me starts with three digits 
(folder number) followed by five alphan umeric characters. A folder can contain 
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a  folder becomes full, a new 
folder with a higher one-up folder nu mber is created automatically. Also, if 
manual reset (p.75)  is executed, a new folder will  be created automatically. 
Folders numbered from 10 0 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 “ 100ABC_D” format 
where the first three digits is 100 -  999 followed by five alphanumeric 
characters. The five charac ters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case 
letters from A to Z, numera ls, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in 
the folder name. Also, folder names cann ot have the same three-digit number 
such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”  even if the letters are different.

The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured 
images are assigned a sequential f ile number from 0001 to 9999 and 
saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned.
The file number will appear on a per sonal computer in this format: 
IMG_0001.JPG.
1Select [File numbering].
 Under the [ 5] tab, select [File 
numbering ], then press < 0>.
2Select the file numbering method.
  Turn the < 5> dial to select the 
desired method, 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 or create a new folder, the file 
numbering continues in sequence up to  9999. This is convenient when 
you want to save the 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 num bering of the new images might 
continue from the file numbering of  the existing images in the card or 
folder. If you want to use continuou s 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.
Whenever the card is replaced or a new folder created, the file 
numbering starts from 0001. This is  convenient if you want to organize 
images according to cards or folders. If the replacement card or existing 
folder already contains images reco rded previously, the file numbering 
of the new images might 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 when 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 re turns to continuous or auto reset.

If the file number in th e folder No. 999 reaches 99 99, shooting will not be 
possible even if the card still has  storage capacity. The LCD monitor will 
display a message to replace the  card. Replace with a new card.
For both JPEG and  RAW images, the file name w ill start with “IMG_”. Movie 
file names will start with “MVI_”. Th e extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG 
images, “.CR2” for RAW images , and “.MOV” for movies.

The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this 
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or 
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C ), sRGB is set automatically.
1Select [Color space].
 Under the [ 2] tab, select [ Color 
space ], then press < 0>.
2Set the desired color space.
  Select [ sRGB] or [ Adobe RGB ], then 
press < 0>.
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other 
industrial uses. This setting is  not recommended if you do not know 
about image processing, Adobe RGB,  and Design rule for Camera File 
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image  will look very subdued in the sRGB 
personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with 
Design rule for Camera File System  2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of 
the image with software  will therefore be required.
3 Setting the Color Space N
About Adobe RGB
 If the image is captured  with the color space set  to Adobe RGB, the file 
name will start with “_MG_” (fir st character is an underscore).
 
The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the 
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

 When the AF point selection (p.81)  is automatic, the camera first 
uses the center AF point to focus. Within the spot metering circle, 
there are six invisible Assist AF points ( „ in diagram) that function in 
the AI SERVO AF mode. Therefore, even if the subject moves away 
from the center AF point during autofocusing, focusing can still 
continue. Also, even if the subject moves far away from the center 
AF point, focus tracking continues  as long as the subject is covered 
by another AF point.
  A manually-selected AF point will fo cus track the subject in the AI 
Servo AF mode.
AI Focus AF switches the AF mode 
from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF 
automatically if the still subject starts 
moving.
 After the subject is focused in the 
One-Shot AF mode, if the subject 
starts moving, the camera will detect 
the movement and change the AF 
mode automatically to AI Servo AF.
AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will no t sound even when focus is achieved. 
Also, the focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfind er will not light.
When focus is achieved in the AI  Focus AF mode with the Servo mode 
active, the beeper will sound softly. Ho wever, the focus confirmation light 
 in the viewfinder will not light.
