Post-ProcessingImages
You can process RAW images with the camera or 
resize (shrink) JPEG images.
A M  icon at the upper right of a page title indicates that the 
function can be used when the Mode Dial is set to < d/s /
f /a/F >.
* Function which cannot be used in the fully-automatic  modes ( 1/C ).
You cannot process the RAW images or resize JPEG images 
shot when the firmware version was 1.x.x with the camera 
updated to version 2.x.x.
 The camera may not be able  to process images taken with 
another camera.
 Post-processing images as desc ribed in this chapter is not 
possible while the camera is connected to a personal 
computer via the < C> terminal.

You can process 1 images with the camera and save them as 
JPEG images. While the RAW image itself does not change, you can 
process the RAW image according to di fferent conditions to create any 
number of JPEG images from it.
Note that  41 and 61  images cannot be processed with the 
camera. Use Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.282) to 
process those images.

 Color space  (p.86)
You can select either sRGB or Adobe RGB. Since the camera’s LCD 
monitor is not compatible with  Adobe RGB, the image will not look 
very different when either color space is set.
  Peripheral illumination correction  (p.78)
If [ Enable] is set, the corrected image will be displayed. If the effect 
is difficult to discern, press the < u> button to magnify the image 
and check the corners. (Press the < I> button to return to the 
normal view.)
  Distortion correction
When [Enable] is set, image distortion due to the lens 
characteristics is corrected. If [ Enable] is set, the corrected image 
will be displayed. The image periphery will be cropped in the 
corrected image. Therefore, the image will look slightly larger. (It is 
not a magnified image.) With Digita l Photo Professional (provided 
software), you can correct the im age distortion while minimizing the 
trimming of the image periphery.
Since the image resolution may dec rease slightly, use the Picture 
Style’s Sharpness parameter to make adjustments as necessary.
 Image brightness adjustment is not possible.
 When processing images with [ Distortion correction] set to [Enable], 
AF point display information (p.167) and Dust Delete data (p.201) will not 
be appended to the image.

R Processing RAW Images with the Camera N
 Chromatic aberration correction
When [Enable] is set, lateral chromatic aberration caused by the 
lens (color fringing al ong the subject’s outline) can be corrected. If 
[Enable] is set, the corrected image will be displayed. (The image 
periphery will also be slightly cr opped.) If the effect is difficult to 
discern, press the < u> button to magnify the image. (Press the 
< I > button to return to the normal view.) The chromatic 
aberration correction done with the camera will be less pronounced 
than with Digital Photo Professi onal (provided software). Therefore 
the correction might not be so noticeable. In such a case, use Digital 
Photo Professional to correct the chromatic aberration.
About peripheral illumination correction, distortion 
correction, and chromatic aberration correction
To execute peripheral illumination co rrection, distortion correction, and 
chromatic aberration correction with the camera, the data of the lens used 
for the shot must be registered in the camera. If the lens data has not been 
registered in the camera, use EOS Utility (provided software, p.282) to 
register the lens data.
 Distortion correction and chromatic aberration correction are not possible 
for RAW images shot with an Extender attached.
 Processing RAW images in the camera will not produce the same results 
as processing RAW images with Digital Photo Professional.
 Even if image verification data (p.232) is appended to the RAW image, 
the image verification data is not appended to the JPEG image after 
processing.

You can resize an image to make the pixel count lower and save it as a 
new image. Resizing an image is possible only with JPEG 3/4  
images.  JPEG 6 and RAW images cannot be resized.

 Press < 0> to display the image 
sizes.
 Turn the < 5> dial to select the 
desired image size, then press < 0>.
4Save the image.
Select [OK] to save the resized image.
 Check the destination folder and 
image file number, then select [ OK].

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached 
to the image sensor’s front layer (low-pass filter) to 
shake off dust automatically. 
The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the 
image so that the dust spots remaining can be erased 
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided 
software).
About smear 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. 
In case 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 Sens or Unit is operating, you can 
press the shutter button halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start 
shooting immediately. 
						

							200
Whenever you set the power switch to  or , the Self 
Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to aut omatically shake off the dust on 
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this 
operation. However, you can execute t he sensor cleaning at anytime as 
well as disable it.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
Under the [6 ] tab, select [Sensor 
cleaning ], then press < 0>.
2Select [Clean now f].
Turn the < 5> dial to select [ Clean 
now f], then press < 0>.
 Select [ OK] on the dialog screen, 
then press < 0>.
 The screen will indicate that the 
sensor is being cleaned. Although 
there will be a shutter sound, a 
picture is not taken.
 In step 2, select [ Auto cleaningf] and set it to [ Disable].
 The sensor cleaning will no longer  be executed when you set the 
power switch to < 1> or < 2>.

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
For best results, do the sensor cleaning while the camera bottom is 
placed on a table or other flat surface.
 Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve that 
much. Right after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [ Clean nowf] 
option will remain disabled temporarily.
