3 Noise Reduction Settings N
You can reduce noise in long exposures.
1Select [Long exp. noise 
reduction].
Under the [A 4] tab, select [Long 
exp. noise reduction ], then press 
< Q /0 >.
Long Exposure Noise Reduction
About [Multi Shot Noise Reduction]
The following functions cannot be set: AEB, WB bracketing, [ A4: Long 
exp. noise reduction ], 1 +73 /1 . If any of these has already been 
set, [ Multi Shot Noise Reduction ] cannot be set.
 Flash shooting is not possible.
 You cannot set [ Multi Shot Noise Reduction ] for bulb exposures.
 If you turn off the power or change the shooting mode to a Basic Zone 
mode, movie shooting, or bulb, the setting will change to [ Standard].
 Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image 
periphery.
 If the images are greatly misaligned due to camera shake or if there is a 
moving subject, the noise reduction effect may be minimal.
 The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal 
shooting. During the processing of the images, “ BUSY” will be displayed 
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
 [A 4: Dust Delete Data ] cannot be set.
 If [Multi Shot Noise Reduction ] is set, direct printing is not possible. 
Select a setting other than [Multi Shot Noise Reduction ] and perform 
direct printing.
If you play back a  1+73  or 1  image with the camera or print an image 
directly, the effect of the high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal. 
Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with Digital 
Photo Professional (provided software, p.340).

2Set the setting.
Select the desired setting, then press 
.
The setting screen closes and the 
menu will reappear.
 [Auto]
For 1 sec. or longer exposures, noise reduction is performed 
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.
3Take the picture.
The image applied with noise 
reduction is recorded.
 With [ Auto] and [ Enable ], the noise reduction process after the picture is 
taken may take the same amount of time as the exposure. You cannot 
take another picture until the noise reduction process is completed.
 Images taken at ISO 1600 or higher may look grainier with the [ Enable] 
setting than with the [ Disable] or [Auto ] setting.
 If [Auto ] and [ Enable ] are set and you are taking a long exposure, 
“ BUSY ” will be displayed during the noise reduction process and you 
cannot take another picture.

Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners 
look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject 
outlines is another chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be 
corrected. RAW images can be corrected with Digital Photo 
Professional (provided software, p.340).
1Select [Lens aberration 
correction].
Under the [A 2] tab, select [Lens 
aberration correction ], then press 
< Q /0 >.
2Select the setting.
Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
 Select [ Peripheral illumin. ], then 
press < Q/0 >.
 Select [ Enable], then press < Q/
0 >.
 If [Correction data not available ] is 
displayed, see “About the Lens 
Correction Data” on page 165.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with the 
peripheral illumination corrected.
3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
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 that can be set with Digital Photo Professional 
(provided software).
 The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

1Select the setting.
Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
 Select [ Chromatic aberration ], then 
press < Q/0 >.
 Select [ Enable], then press < Q/
0 >.
 If [Correction data not available ] is 
displayed, see “About the Lens 
Correction Data” on the next page.
2Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with the 
chromatic aberration corrected.
Chromatic Aberration Correction
 With [Enable ], the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly 
decrease.
 If you play back a RAW image shot with the chromatic aberration 
corrected, the image will be displayed on the camera without the 
chromatic aberration correction applied. Check the chromatic aberration 
correction with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.340).

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 lenses. For details, refer to the PDF
Software Instruction Manual (DVD-ROM) for EOS Utility.
* There is no need to register EF-M lenses.
Notes for Peripheral Illumination  Correction and Chromatic Aberration 
Correction
About the Lens  Correction Data
Corrections cannot be applied afterwards 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 shooting, the peripheral illumination 
correction and chromatic aberration correction  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. The corrections are also applied when an Extender is attached.
 If the correction data for the attached 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 information, the correction amount will 
be lower.

 Sharpness
You can adjust the sharpness of the subject.
To make it less sharp, set it toward the  E end. The closer it is to  E, 
the softer the image will look.
To make it sharper, set it toward the  F end. The closer it is to  F, the 
sharper the image will look.
 Contrast Adjusts the image contrast and the vividness of colors.
To decrease the contrast, set it toward the minus end. The closer it is 
to G , the more muted the image will look.
To increase the contrast, set it toward the plus end. The closer it is to 
H , the crisper the image will look.
 Saturation The image’s color saturation can be adjusted.
To decrease the color saturation, set it toward the minus end. The 
closer it is to  G, the more diluted the colors will look.
To increase the color saturation, set it toward the plus end. The 
closer it is to  H, the bolder the colors will look.
 Color tone The skin tones can be adjusted.
To make the skin tone redder, set it toward the minus end. The 
closer it is to  G, the redder the skin tone will look.
To make the skin tone more yellow, set it toward the plus end. The 
closer it is to  H, the more yellow the skin tone will look.

Q A  Adjusting the Picture Style N
For Monochrome, you can also set [ Filter effect] and [Toning effect ] in 
addition to [Sharpness] and [Contrast ] explained on the preceding 
page.
kFilter Effect
With a filter effect applied to a 
monochrome image, you can make 
white clouds or green trees stand out 
more.
lToning Effect
By applying a toning effect, you can 
create a monochrome image in that 
color. It can make the image look more 
impressive.
The following can be selected: [ N:None], 
[S:Sepia ], [B:Blue ], [P:Purple ] or 
[G:Green ].
V Monochrome Adjustment
FilterSample Effects

brilliant.
R: RedThe blue sky will look quite dark. Fall leaves will look crisper and 
brighter.
G: GreenSkin tones and lips will appear muted. Tree leaves will look 
crisper and brighter.
Increasing the [ Contrast] will make the filter effect more pronounced.
