If the subject is on the side of the frame and you use flash, the subject 
may turn out to be too bright or dark depending on the background, etc. 
Use FE lock in such a case. After setting the proper flash exposure for 
the subject, you can recompose (put  the subject toward the side) and 
shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-series Speedlite.
* FE stands for Flash Exposure.
1Press the  button.
The built-in flash will be raised.
 Press the shutter button halfway and 
look in the viewfinder to check that 
the < D> icon is lit.
2Focus on the subject.
3Press the  button (8).
 Aim the viewfinder center over the 
subject where you want to lock the 
flash exposure, then press the < A> 
button.
 The flash will fire a preflash and the 
required flash output is calculated 
and retained in memory.
 In the viewfinder, “ FEL” is displayed 
for a moment and < d> will light up.

a preflash is fired and the required 
flash output is calculated and retained 
in memory.

If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and 
contrast can be corrected automatical ly. This function is called Auto 
Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [ Standard]. With JPEG 
images, the correction is applied when the image is captured.
In Basic Zone modes, [ Standard] is set automatically.
1Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].
Under the [z 2] tab, select [Auto 
Lighting Optimizer ], then press 
< 0 >.
2Select the setting.
 Select the desired setting, then press 
.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with the 
brightness and contrast corrected if 
necessary.
3  Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN
Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [ 6: Highlight tone priority] is 
set to [1: Enable ], the Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set automatically to 
[ Disable ] and the setting cannot be changed.
 If the Auto Lighting Optimizer’s effect is too strong and the image is too 
bright, set [Low ] or [Disable ].
 If a setting other than [ Disable] is set and y ou use exposure 
compensation or flash exposure compensation to darken the exposure, 
the image may still come out bright.  If you want a darker exposure, set 
this function to [ Disable].
 Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.

Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture may look 
darker. This phenomenon is called lens li ght fall-off or drop in peripheral 
illumination and can be corrected. The default setting is [ Enable]. With 
JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured. For 
RAW images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (EOS 
software, p.314).
1Select [Peripheral illumin. 
correct.].
 Under the [z 1] tab, select 
[Peripheral illumin. correct.], then 
press < 0>.
2Select the setting.
 Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
 If [Correction data not available ] is 
displayed, see “Lens Correction Data” 
on the next page.
 Select [ Enable], then press < 0>.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with the 
peripheral illumination corrected.

3 Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners
The camera already contains lens  peripheral illumination correction 
data for approx. 30 lenses. In step 2, if you select [ Enable], the 
peripheral illumination correction will  be applied automatically for any 
lens whose correction data has been registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (EOS software,  p.314), 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 EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
Lens Correction Data
 Peripheral illumination correction cannot be applied to JPEG images 
already taken.
 Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image 
periphery.
 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 will not be refl ected in the image displayed on the 
screen.
 If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image after 
shooting and check it again.
 Corrections can be applied even when an Extender or Life-size 
Converter 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 ].
 The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum 
correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (EOS 
software).
 The correction amount will be less if the lens used does not have 
distance information.
 The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
