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. Dots of light may appear on images if the sensor is affected by cosmic rays, etc. By selecting [ Clean nowf], their appearance may be suppressed (p.571).

460 Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust that may be visible on captured images. However, for the case where 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.598) 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 < MF> and set the focus to infinity ( ∞). If the lens has no distance scale, rotate the camera to face toward you and turn the focu sing ring clockwise all the way. 1Select [Dust Delete Data]. Under the [ z3] tab, select [ Dust Delete Data ], then press < 0>. 2Select [OK]. XAfter the automatic self-cleaning of the sensor is performed, a message will appear. Although there will be a mechanical sound of the shutter during the cleaning, no picture is taken. 3 Appending Dust Delete DataN Preparation Obtaining the Dust Delete Data

461 3 Appending Dust Delete Data N 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. X 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. X 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.

3 Appending Dust Delete Data N 462 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 that you update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again. For details about using Digital P hoto Professional (EOS software, p.598) to erase dust spots, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual (p.600). 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 the Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).

463 Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can be removed manually with a commercia lly-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 < 0>. 2Select [Clean manually]. 3Select [OK]. XIn a moment, the reflex mirror will lock up and the shutter will open. “CLn ” will blink on the LCD panel. 4Clean the sensor. 5End the cleaning.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning N 464 While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the power is cut off, the shutter will close and the reflex mirror will go back down. These may result in damaging the image sensor, shutter curtains, and reflex mirror. • 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 brush attached. A brush can scratch the sensor. Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If the power is turned off, the shutter will 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.

466 You can connect the camera to a computer and operate the camera to transfer images on the card to the computer. This is called direct image transfer. You can perform the direct image transfer with the camera while looking at the LCD monitor. The images transferred to the computer will be saved in the [Pictures] or [ My Pictures ] folder and organized in folders by shooting date. 1Set the camera’s power switch to . 2Connect the camera to a computer. Use the interface cable provided with the camera. When connecting the cable to the camera, use the cable protector (p.38). Connect the cable to the digital terminal with the plug’s < > icon facing the back of the camera. Connect the cord’s plug to the computer’s USB terminal. d Transferring Images to a Computer Preparing Image Transfer Before connecting the camera to a computer, install EOS Utility (EOS software, p.598) to your computer (p.599).

If any screen other than EOS Utility’s main window is displayed, [ Direct transfer] in step 5 on page 469 will not be displayed. (You cannot transfer images to the computer.) If the EOS Utility screen does not appear, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual (p.600). Before disconnecting the cable, turn off the camera. Hold the plug (not the cord) to pull out the cable. This [ RAW+JPEG transfer ] setting is linked to the [ RAW+JPEG transfer] setting under [ 54: Communication settings ] 9 [FTP transfer settings ] 9 [Transfer type/size ], and the two will always remain synchronized.
