3 Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners
The camera already contains lens  peripheral illumination correction 
data for approx. 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [ Enable], the 
peripheral light correction will be a pplied automatically for any lens 
whose correction data has been registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (provided softwa re, p.302), you can check which 
lenses have their correction data regi stered in the camera. You can also 
register the correction data for unregi stered lenses. For details, see the 
Software Instruction Manual (CD- ROM) for EOS Utility (p.304).
About the Lens Correction Data
 For JPEG images already captured , lens peripheral illumination 
correction cannot be applied.
  Depending on shooting conditions , noise might appear on the image 
periphery.
  When using a non-Canon lens, setting the correction to [ Disable] is 
recommended, even if [ Correction data available] is displayed.
 Lens peripheral light co rrection is also applied when an Extender is 
attached.
  If the correction data for the attached  lens has not been registered to the 
camera, the result will be  the same as when the correction is set to 
[ Disable ].
  The correction amount applied will be  slightly lower than the maximum 
correction amount settable with Di gital Photo Professional (provided 
software).
  If the lens does not have distance in formation, the correction amount will 
be lower.
  The higher the ISO speed, the lowe r the correction amount will be.

 Sharpness
Adjusts the sharpness of the image.
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 towa rd the minus end. The closer it is 
to G , the blander 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 less red, set  it toward the plus end. The closer 
it is to  H, the more yellow the skin tone will look.
Parameter Settings and Effects
 By selecting [ Default set.] in step 3, you can  revert the respective 
Picture Style to its defa ult parameter settings.
  To shoot with the Picture Style you mo dified, follow step 2 on page 81 to

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 ].

parameters of a Picture Style which  has been registered to the camera 
with EOS Utility (provided software, p.302).

The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in 
the picture is called white ba lance (WB). Normally, the  (Auto) 
setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors 
cannot be obtained with < Q>, you can select the white balance to 
match the light source or set it  manually by shooting a white object.
1Press the  button.
X[White balance ] will appear.
2Select the white balance.
 Press the < U> key or turn the 
< 6 > dial to select the desired white 
balance, then press < 0>.
  The “Approx. ****K” (K: Kelvin) 
displayed for the following white 
balance settings < W>, < E >, 
< R >,  or < U> is the 
respective color temperature.
Custom white balance enables you to  manually set the white balance 
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Do this procedure under 
the actual light source to be used.
1Photograph a white object.
  The plain, white object should fill the 
spot metering circle.
  Focus manually and set the standard 
exposure for the white object.
  You can set any white balance.

  If the exposure obtained in step 1  is way off, a correct white balance 
might not be obtained.
  An image captured while the Picture Style was set to [ Monochrome] 
(p.82) or an image processed with a Creative filter cannot  be selected in 
step 3.
  Instead of a white object, an 18% gray  card (commercially available) can 
produce a more accu rate white balance.
  The personal white balance regist ered with EOS Utility (provided 
software, p.302) will  be registered under < O>. If you do step 3, the data 
for the registered personal wh ite balance will be erased.

You can correct the white balance that has been set. This adjustment 
will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color 
temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color 
can be corrected to one of nine levels.
This is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature 
conversion or color compensating filters.
1Select [WB Shift/BKT].
  Under the [ 2] tab, select [WB Shift/
BKT ], then press < 0>.
X The WB correction/WB bracketing 
screen will appear.
2Set the white balance correction.
  Press the < S> key to move the “ ” 
mark to the desired position.
  B is for blue, A is amber, M is 
magenta, and G is green. The color in 
the respective direction will be 
corrected.
  On the upper right, “ Shift” indicates 
the direction and correction amount.
  Pressing the < C> button will 
cancel all the [ WB Shift/BKT ] 
settings.

With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be 
recorded simultaneously. Ba sed on the color temperature of the current white 
balance setting, the image will be br acketed with a blue/amber bias or 
magenta/green bias. This  is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White 
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3  levels in single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing amount.
 In step 2 for white balance correction, 
when you turn the  dial, the “ ” 
mark on the screen  will change to “     ” 
(3 points). Turning the dial to the right sets 
the B/A bracketing, an d turning it to the 
left sets the M/G bracketing.
XOn the right, “Bracket” indicates the 
bracketing direction  and correction amount.
 Pressing the  button will cancel 
all the [
WB Shift/BKT] settings.
  Press < 0> to exit the setting and 
return to the menu.
Bracketing Sequence
The images will be bracketed in  the following sequence: 1. Standard 
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard 
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
White Balance Auto Bracketing
B/A bias ±3 levels
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and 
the number of possible shots will also  decrease to one-third the normal number.
 You can also set white balance correction and AEB (p.105) together with 
white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination wi th white balance 
bracketing, a total of nine images  will be recorded for a single shot.
 Since three images are recorded for one  shot, the card will take longer to 
record the shot.
  “BKT ” stands for Bracketing.
