 The number of possible shots is based on Canon’s testing standards and an 8 
GB card.
  The maximum burst is with Canon’s standard testing CF card (Standard: 8 GB, 
High speed: UDMA Mode 7, 64 GB) and SD card (Standard: 8 GB, High speed: 
UHS-I, 16 GB), and based on the following conditions set by the Canon’s 
testing standard: < o> High-speed continuous shooting, 3:2 aspect ratio, 
ISO 100, Dual Pixel RAW shooting disabled, Standard Picture Style, IPTC 
information not appended.
  The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary 
depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom 
Functions, and other settings.
  “Full” indicates that shooting is possible until the card becomes full with the 
listed conditions.
  Even if you use a UDMA CF card or high-speed SD card, the maximum 
burst indicator remains the same. However, the maximum burst shown in 
the table on the preceding page applies to continuous shooting.
  If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded 
simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording qualities that were set. The two images will be recorded with 
the same file numbers (file extension: .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for 
RAW).
  The image-recording quality icons indicate as follows:  1 (RAW), 
41  (Medium RAW),  61 (Small RAW), JPEG (JPEG),  7 (Fine), 
8 (Normal),  3 (Large),  4 (Medium), and  6 (Small).

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to 
digital data. It is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the 
quality as follows:  1, 41 , or 61 .
A  1  image can be processed with [ 31: RAW image processing ] 
(p.446) and saved as a JPEG image. ( 41 and 61  images cannot 
be processed with the camera.) As the RAW image itself does not 
change, you can process the RAW image to create any number of 
JPEG images with various  processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Profes sional (EOS software, p.598) to 
process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images 
depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG, TIFF, or 
other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
RAW Images
RAW Image Processing Software
  To display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional 
(DPP, EOS software) is recommended.
 
Previous versions of DPP Ver.4.x cannot process RAW images taken with this 
camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your computer, 
update it with the EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk (p.599). (The previous version 
will be overwritten.) Note that DPP Ver.3.x or earlier cannot process RAW 
images taken with this camera.
  Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW 
images taken with this camera. For co mpatibility information, contact the 
software manufacturer.

With Custom Controls, you can as sign the image-recording quality to 
the < B > button or depth-of-field preview button so you can switch 
to it momentarily. If you assign [ One-touch image quality setting ] or 
[ One-touch image quality (hold) ] to the  button or depth-of-
field preview button, you can qui ckly switch to the desired image-
recording quality and shoot.
For details, see “Custom Controls” (p.495).
The approximate maximum burst is 
displayed in the viewfinder and on the 
bottom right of the Quick Control screen 
and Custom Quick Control screen.
If the maximum burst for continuous 
shooting is 99 or higher, “99” will be 
displayed.
One-touch Image Quality Setting N
Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel. ], if [Record func. ] is set to [Rec. 
separately ], you cannot switch to the One-touch image quality setting.
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the 
camera. Make sure that a card is inserted before taking a picture.
If the maximum burst is displayed as “ 99”, it indicates that you can shoot 99 
or more shots continuously. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or lower 
and the internal buffer memory becomes full, “ buSY” will be displayed in the 
viewfinder and on the LCD panel. Shooting will then be disabled temporarily. 
If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all 
the captured images are written to the card, you can resume continuous 
shooting and shoot up to the maximum burst listed in the table on page 171. 
						

							
175
If you shoot 1 images (other than  41 or 61 ) when Dual Pixel 
RAW function is set, they will be recorded as “special  1 images (Dual 
Pixel RAW images)” with Dual Pixel data from the image sensor 
appended. This is called Du al Pixel RAW shooting.
When you perform processing of the Dual Pixel RAW image with the 
Digital Photo Professional (EOS soft ware, p.598), you can make use of 
the Dual Pixel data recorded with the Dual Pixel RAW image for 
microadjustment of the position of  maximum sharpness and resolution 
using the depth information contained within the file, repositioning the 
viewpoint or foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result, and reducing 
the appearance of ghosting in images.
Since the effect will differ depending on the shooting conditions, 
refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual for the 
features of Duel Pixel RAW function and Dual Pixel RAW image 
processing before performing Dual Pixel Raw shooting.

 Even if [ z1: Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable], you cannot record 
41  or 61  images appended with the Dual Pixel data (only possible 
with  1 images).
  If [51: Record func+card/folder sel. ] is set to [Rec. separately ] and 
the image-recording quality is set to  1 for one card and  41 or 
61  for the other, Dual Pixel RAW shooting cannot be performed.
  When [ z1: Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable], you cannot use multiple 
exposures, HDR shooting, the One-touch image quality setting or Digital 
Lens Optimizer. Also, the startup time will be longer when the power 
switch is set to < 1> or to resume from the Auto power off state.
 
With Dual Pixel RAW shooting, the  number of possible shots will decrease. Shooting in Dual Pixel RAW using the viewfinder will decrease the 
continuous shooting speed. The maximum burst for continuous shooting 
will also decrease.
  If [z 1: Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable] for Live View shooting, the 
< o > and < i> drive modes cannot be selected. If < o> or < i> is 
set, the < u> drive mode will apply for shooting.
  In viewfinder shooting with [ z1: Dual Pixel RAW ] set to [Enable], if you 
switch to Live View shooting while < o> or < i> drive mode is set, the 
< u > drive mode will be set automatically.
  When you shoot RAW or RAW+JPEG images with [ z1: Dual Pixel 
RAW ] set to [ Enable], noise may be more noticeable compared with that 
in normal shooting.
Adjustment Amount and Correction Effect of the Dual Pixel RAW 
Function
  The adjustment amount and correcti on effect will increase with a larger 
aperture.
  The sufficient adjustment amount and correction effect may not be 
obtained depending on the lens and scene.
  The adjustment amount and correction effect will vary depending on the 
camera orientation (vertical or horizontal).
  The sufficient adjustment amount and correction effect may not be 
obtained depending on the shooting conditions.

 As H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200) and H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400) are 
expanded ISO speed settings, noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) and 
irregular colors will be more noticeable, and the resolution lower 
compared with the standard setting.
  As L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the 
dynamic range will be somewhat narrower compared with the standard 
setting.
  If [z 3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.206), L (equivalent 
to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160, H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200), and H2 
(equivalent to ISO 102400) cannot be selected.
  When shooting with a high ISO speed, high temperature, long exposure, 
or multiple exposure, image noise  (rough grain, dots of light, banding, 
etc.) and irregular colors may become noticeable.
  When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise, 
such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and long 
exposure, images may not be recorded properly.
  If you use a high ISO speed and fl ash to shoot a close subject, 
overexposure may result. 
Under [ z2: ISO speed settings ], you can use [Range for stills ] to expand 
the settable ISO speed range from L (equivalent to ISO 50) to H1 
(equivalent to ISO 51200) and H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400) (p.180).
