Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners 
look darker due to the lens characteri stics. Color fringing along subject 
outlines is called chromatic aberra tion. Both lens aberrations can be 
corrected. The default settings are [ Enable] for both corrections.
1Select [Lens aberration 
correction].
 Under the [ z2] tab, select [Lens 
aberration correction ], then press 
< 0 >.
2Select the setting.
  Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
  Select [Peripheral illumin. ], then 
press < 0>.
  Select [Enable ], then press .
  If [Correction data not available] is 
displayed, see “About the Lens 
Correction Data” on page 133.
3Take the picture.
  The image will be recorded with the 
peripheral illumination corrected.

Peripheral Illumination Correction
Depending on shooting conditions,  noise may appear on the image 
periphery.
  The correction amount applied will be  slightly lower than the maximum 
correction amount settable with Di gital Photo Professional (provided 
software, p.392).
  The higher the ISO speed, the lowe r the correction amount will be.

Chromatic Aberration Correction
If you play back a  1 image shot with the chro matic aberration corrected, 
the image will be displaye d on the camera without  the chromatic aberration 
correction applied. Check the chromati c aberration correction with Digital 
Photo Professional (pro vided software, p.392).

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 is  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-RO M) for EOS Utility Instruction 
Manual (p.395).

About the Lens Correction Data
  Peripheral illumination correction an d chromatic aberration correction 
cannot be applied to JP EG images already taken.
  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 shown on the screen.
 If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image and check it 
after shooting.
  Corrections can be app lied even when an Extender or Life-size 
Converter 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.

About FoldersAs with “ 100CANON ” for example, the folder name  starts with three digits 
(the folder number) followed by five  alphanumeric characters. A folder can 
contain up to 9999 images (file nu mber 0001 - 9999). When a folder 
becomes full, a new folder with the  folder number increased by one is 
created automatically. Al so, if manual reset (p.137) is executed, a new 
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered  from 100 to 999 can 
be created.
Creating Folders with a ComputerWith the card open on the scre en, create a new folder named “ DCIM”. Open 
the DCIM folder and create as many  folders as necessary to save and 
organize your images . The folder name must follow the format 
“ 100ABC_D ”. The first three digits are the  folder number, from 100 to 999. 
The final five characters  can be any combination of  upper- and lower-case 
letters from A to Z, nume rals, and the underscore “_ ”. The space cannot be 
used. Also note that tw o folder names cannot sh are the same three-digit 
folder number (for example, “ 100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ ”), even if the 
other five characters in  each name are different.

The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the 
images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file 
number is assigned.
The file number will appear on your computer in this format: 
IMG_0001.JPG.
1Select [File numbering].
 Under the [ 51] tab, select [ File 
numbering], then press < 0>.
2Select the file numbering method.
  Select the desired setting, then press 
.
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file 
numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when 
you want to save images numbere d anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in 
multiple cards or folders into one folder in your computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file number ing of the new images may continue 
from the file numbering of the existi ng images in the card or folder. If 
you want to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended that you 
use a newly-formatted card each time.

3 File Numbering Methods
The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card or create a  folder, the file numbering restarts 
from 0001 for the new images saved. This is convenient if you want to 
organize images according to cards or folders.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images recorded 
previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue from the file 
numbering of the existing images  in the card or folder. If you want to save images 
with the file numbering starting from 0001, use a newly formatted card each time.
To reset the file numbering to  0001 or to start from file number 0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is cr eated automatically 
and the file numbering of  images saved to that folder starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images 
taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the 
manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset. 
(There will be no manual reset confirmation screen.)

If the file number in fo lder 999 reaches 9999, shoo ting will not be possible 
even if the card still has storage ca pacity. The LCD monitor will display a 
message telling you to replace the card. Replac e it with a new card.
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name w ill start with “IMG_”. Movie 
file names will start with “MVI_”. Th e extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG 
images, “.CR2” for RAW images , and “.MOV” for movies.

The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this 
camera, you can set the color space  for captured images to sRGB or 
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically.
1Select [Color space].
  Under the [ z3] tab, select [Color 
space ], then press < 0>.
2Set the desired color space.
  Select [ sRGB] or [ Adobe RGB ], then 
press < 0>.
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other 
industrial uses. This setting is  not recommended if you do not know 
about image processing, Adobe RGB,  and Design rule for Camera File 
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). T he image will look very subdued in a 
sRGB computer environment and wit h printers not compatible with 
Design rule for Camera File System  2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-
processing of the image with software for computer will therefore be 
required.
3  Setting the Color Space N
About Adobe RGB
 If the captured still photo was shot  in the Adobe RGB color space, the 
first character in th e file name will be an underscore “_”.
 
The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC 
profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.395) on the CD-ROM.
