U Applying Creative Filters
X Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have a barrel-type 
distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along 
the periphery of the image changes. Also,  since this filter effect will 
magnify the image center, the apparent  resolution at the center may 
degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels. Set the filter 
effect in step 4 while checking the resulting image.
 Y Art bold effectMakes the photo look like an oil pa inting and the subject look more 
three-dimensional. You can adjust t he contrast and saturation. Note 
that subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered 
with a smooth gradation and may look  irregular or noise will become 
more noticeable.
 Z Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor  painting with soft colors. You 
can control the color density by adjusti ng the filter effect. Note that 
some scenes including night scenes  or low-light scenes may not be 
rendered with a smooth gradation an d may look irregular or noise 
will become more noticeable.
 H Toy camera effect
Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a unique color tone that 
makes it look as if it was shot  by a toy camera. You can change the 
color cast by adjusting the color tone.
 c Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect. You c an change where the image looks 
sharp. In step 4, if you press the <
B> button (or tap on [T] at 
the screen’s bottom), you can switch between the white frame’s 
vertical and horizontal orientations.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit to 
automatically shake off dust adhered to the image 
sensor’s front layer (low pass filter).
The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the 
image so that the dust spots remaining can be deleted 
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (EOS 
software, p.512).
Smudges adhering to the front of the sensorBesides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases 
lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of 
the sensor. If visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor 
cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is 
recommended.
Even while the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is operating, you can 
press the shutter button halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start 
shooting immediately. 
						

							404
Whenever you set the power switch to  or , the Self 
Cleaning Sensor Unit is activated to  automatically shake off the dust on 
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this 
operation. However, you can choose to perform sensor cleaning 
manually, or disable it.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
Under the [53] tab, select [Sensor 
cleaning
], then press .
2Select [Clean nowf ].
Select [Clean nowf], then press 
<
0>.
Select [OK].The screen will indicate that the 
sensor is being cleaned. (A small 
sound may be heard.) Although there 
will be a shutter release sound during 
the cleaning, no picture is taken.
In step 2, select [Auto cleaningf] and set it to [Disable].
The sensor cleaning will no longer  be performed when you set the 
power switch to  or .

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
 For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed 
upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
 Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve much. 
Immediately after the sensor  cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf] 
option remains disabled temporarily.

Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that may be visible on captured image s. However, in case visible dust 
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital 
Photo Professional (EOS software , p.512) to erase the dust spots 
automatically.
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the lens’s focus mode switch to  and set the focus to 
infinity (u). If the lens has no distance scale, rotate the camera to 
face toward you and turn the focusing ring clockw ise all the way.
1Select [Dust Delete Data].
Under the [z3] tab, select [Dust 
Delete Data], then press .
2Select [OK].
After the automatic self-cleaning of 
the sensor is performed, a message 
will appear. Although there will be a 
shutter release sound, during the 
cleaning, no picture is taken.

3Shoot a solid-white object.
At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft. 
- 1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a 
patternless, solid-white object and 
take a picture.
The picture will be taken in aperture-
priority AE mode at an aperture of 
f/22.
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. Follow the “Preparation” 
procedure on the preceding page, 
then select [
OK]. Take the picture 
again.
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG 
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, it is 
recommended to update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, 
p.512) to erase dust spots, refer  to the Digital Photo Professional 
Instruction Manual.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly 
affects the image file size.
Dust Delete Data
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the 
object has any pattern or design, it  may be recognized as dust data and 
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with Digital Photo Professional (EOS 
software).

Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can 
be removed manually with a commercially -available blower, etc. Before 
cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
The image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to be 
cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon Service Center is 
recommended.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
Under the [53] tab, select [Sensor 
cleaning
], then press .
2Select [Clean manually].
3Select [OK].
In a moment, the reflex mirror will 
lockup and the shutter will open.

3 Manual Sensor CleaningN
 If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged.
 If you use Battery Grip BG-E14 (sold separately) with AA/R6 batteries, 
manual sensor cleaning will not be possible.
For the power source, using DC Coupler DR-E6 (sold separately) and AC 
Adapter AC-E6N (sold separately) is recommended.

When Multi Shot Noise Reduction is set, [ Clean manually] cannot be 
selected.
 While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the 
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and 
image sensor may get damaged.
• Setting the power switch to < 2>.
• Removing or inserting the battery.
 The surface of the image sensor is  extremely delicate. Clean the sensor 
with care.
 Use a plain blower without any brus h attached. A brush may scratch the 
sensor.
 Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If 
the power is turned off, the shutter wi ll close and the shutter curtains or 
reflex mirror may get damaged.
 Never use pressurized air or gas to  clean the sensor. Pressurized air 
may damage the sensor, and sprayed gas may freeze on the sensor and 
scratch it.
 If the battery level becomes low while cleaning the sensor, the beeper 
will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.
 If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the 
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
