Besides [Strength], [Fineness ], or [Threshold ] of [Sharpness ] and 
[Contrast], you can also set [ Filter effect] and [Toning effect ].
kFilter effect
With a filter effect applied to a 
monochrome image, you can make 
white clouds or green trees stand out 
more. 
lToning effect
By applying a toning effect, you can 
create a monochrome image in that 
color. It can make the image look more 
impressive.
The following can be selected: [ N:None], 
[S:Sepia ], [B:Blue ], [P:Purple ] or 
[G:Green ].
V Monochrome Adjustment
FilterSample Effects
N: NoneNormal black-and-white image with no filter effects.
Ye: YellowThe blue sky will look more natural, and the white clouds will look 
crisper.
Or: OrangeThe blue sky will look slightly darke r. The sunset will look more 
brilliant.
R: RedThe blue sky will look quite dark. Fall leaves will look crisper and 
brighter.
G: GreenSkin tones and lips will appear muted. Green tree leaves will look 
crisper and brighter.
Increasing the [ Contrast] will make the filter effect more pronounced.

You can select a base Picture Style such as [Portrait] or [Landscape], 
adjust its parameters as des ired and register it under [User Def. 1], 
[User Def. 2], or [ User Def. 3]. You can create multiple Picture Styles 
with different settings for parameters such as sharpness and contrast.
You can also adjust the parameters of a Picture Style that is registered 
to the camera with EOS Utility (EOS software, p.521).

White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally, 
the Auto [ Q] (Ambience priority) or [ Qw] (White priority) setting will 
obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be 
obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light 
source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
< A > is automatically set in the [ Q] (Ambience priority) mode.
1Press the  button. (9 )
2Select a white balance setting.
While looking at the LCD panel or in 
the viewfinder, turn the < 5> dial.

* Applicable with Speedlites having a co lor temperature transmission function. 
Otherwise, it will be fixed to approx. 6000 K.

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of 
lighting. With a digital camera, the  white for color correction basis is 
decided depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and 
then the color is adjusted with software to make the white areas look 
white. With this function, pictur es with natural color shades can be 
taken.
With the standard [ Q] (Ambience priority),  you can increase the 
intensity of the image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light 
scene. If you select [ Q
w] (White priority), you  can reduce the intensity 
of the image’s warm color cast.
If you want to match the Auto white balance of previous EOS camera 
models, select [ Q] (Ambience priority).

Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance 
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure 
under the actual light source to be used.
1Shoot a white object.
Look through the viewfinder and aim 
the entire dotted line box (shown in 
the illustration) over a plain, white 
object.
 Focus manually and shoot with the 
standard exposure set for the white 
object.
 You can use any white balance 
setting.
2Select [Custom White Balance].
Under the [z 2] tab, select [Custom 
White Balance ], then press .
 The custom white balance selection 
screen will appear.

Cautions for Setting [ Qw] (White priority)The reddish color cast of subjects may fade.
 When multiple light sources are included on the screen, the red color 
cast of the picture may not be lessened.
 When using flash, the color tone will be the same as [ Q] (Ambience 
priority).

 If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard 
exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.
 In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: Images captured 
while the Picture Style was set to [ Monochrome], multiple-exposure 
images, and images shot with another camera.
 Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector 
(commercially available) can produc e a more accurate white balance.
 The personal white balance registered with the EOS software will be 
registered under < O>. If you perform step 3, the data for the registered 
personal white balance will be erased.

You can set the white balance’s color  temperature numerically. This is 
for advanced users.
1Select [White balance].
Under the [z 2] tab, select [White 
balance ], then press < 0>.
2Set the color temperature.
 Select [ P].
 Turn the < 6> dial to set the color 
temperature, then press < 0>.
 The color temperature can be set 
from approx. 2500 K to 10000 K in 
100 K increments.
P  Setting the Color Temperature
When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white 
balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
 If you set [ P] to the reading taken with a commercially-available color 
temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate 
for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the 
camera’s color temperature reading.

You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have 
the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature 
conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be 
corrected to one of nine levels.
This function is for advanced users  who are familiar with using color 
temperature conversion or color compensating filters.
1Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].
Under the [z 2] tab, select [WB 
Shift/Bkt. ], then press < 0>.
2Set the white balance correction.
 Use < 9> to move the “ ” mark to the 
appropriate position.

B is for blue, A for amber, M for 
magenta, and G for green. The image’s 
color balance will be adjusted towards 
the color in the direction of the move. 
 On the right of the screen, “ Shift” 
indicates the direction and correction 
amount, respectively.
 Pressing the < L> button will cancel 
all the [ WB Shift/Bkt. ] settings.
 Press < 0> to exit the setting.

During the white balance correction, < u> will be displayed on the LCD 
panel.
 You can display < z> in the viewfinder when white balance correction is 
set (p.409).
 One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds 
of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating 
the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be 
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current 
white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber 
bias or magenta/green bias. This  is called white balance bracketing 
(WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in 
single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing 
amount.
 In step 2 for “White Balance 
Correction”, when you turn the < 5> 
dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will 
change to “     ” (3 points).
Turning the dial to the right sets the B/
A bracketing, and turning it to the left 
sets the M/G bracketing.
 On the right, “ Bracket” indicates the 
bracketing direction and correction 
amount.
 Pressing the < L> button will cancel 
all the [ WB Shift/Bkt. ] settings.
 Press < 0> to exit the setting.
Bracketing Sequence
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard 
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard 
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
