The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in 
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the Auto [Q] 
(Ambience priority) or [ Qw] (White priority) setting will obtain the 
correct white balance. If natural-look ing colors cannot be obtained with 
Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it 
manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [ Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In 
the < P> mode, [ Qw] (White...

With [Q] (Ambience priority), you can increase the intensity of the 
image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light scene. If you 
select [Q w] (White priority), you can reduce the intensity of the 
image’s warm color cast.
If you want to match the Auto whit e balance of previous EOS DIGITAL 
camera models, select [Q] (Ambience priority).

You can correct the white balance that is 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 function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who 
understand the use of color temperature conversion and color 
compensating filters and their effects.

With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded 
simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance 
setting, the image will be bracketed 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.

The range of reproducible colors is called “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.

Shooting with the LCD Monitor
(Live View Shooting)
You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera’s 
LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.
Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do 
not move.
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the 
LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images. 
Using a tripod is recommended.
