u White Balance Correction N
With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be 
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white 
balance setting, the image will be br acketed with a blue/amber bias or 
magenta/green bias. This is called wh ite 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  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.
XOn 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 and 
return to the menu.
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.
White Balance Auto Bracketing
B/A bias ±3 levels
 During WB bracketing, the maximum burst fo r continuous shooting will be lower and 
the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal number.
  You can also set white  balance correction and A EB together with white 
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in  combination with white balance 
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded fo r a single shot.
 
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to record the shot.  When white balance bracketing is se t, the white balance icon will blink.
 You can change the number of shots fo r white balance bracketing (p.316). “BKT ” stands for bracketing.

If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and 
contrast can be corrected automatica lly. This function is called Auto 
Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [ Standard]. With JPEG 
images, the correction is appli ed when the image is captured.
[Standard] is automatically set in the < A> mode.
1Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].
 Under the [ z2] tab, select [Auto 
Lighting Optimizer ], then press 
< 0 >.

necessary.
3  Correcting the Brightness and Contrast AutomaticallyN
 If [z 3: Highlight  tone priority ] is set to [Enable ], the Auto Lighting 
Optimizer will be se t automatically to [Disable] and the setting cannot be 
changed.
  Depending on the sh ooting conditions, noise may increase.
  If a setting other than [ Disable] is set and you use exposure 
compensation or flash ex posure compensation to darken the exposure, 
the image may still come  out bright. If you want a darker exposure, set 
this to [ Disable ].
  If the HDR mode (p.173) or  multiple exposure shooting (p.177) is set, the 
Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set automatically to [ Disable]. When the 
HDR mode or multiple expo sure shooting is canceled, the Auto Lighting 
Optimizer will revert to  the original setting.
In step 2, if you press the < B> button and uncheck < X> the [Disable 
during man expo ] setting, the Auto Lighting  Optimizer can be set in the 
 mode.

automatically if noise typical of  long exposures is detected. This 
[Auto] setting is effective in most cases.
  [Enable]
Noise reduction is performed for all  exposures of 1 sec. or longer. 
The [Enable ] setting may be able to reduce noise that otherwise 
cannot be detected with the [ Auto] setting.

3 Noise Reduction Settings N
 With [ Auto] and [ Enable ], after the picture is ta ken, the noise reduction 
process may take the same amount  of time as the exposure. During 
noise reduction, shooting  is still possible as long as the maximum burst 
indicator in the viewfind er shows “1” or higher.
  Images taken at ISO 16 00 or higher may look grainier with the [ Enable] 
setting than with the [ Disable] and [Auto] settings.
  With [ Enable ], if a long exposure is shot with the Live View image 
displayed, “ BUSY” will be displayed during th e noise reduction process. 
The Live View display will not ap pear until the noise reduction is 
completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

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 has been 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.396).

correction
About the Lens Correction Data
  Corrections cannot be applied 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.
