The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in 
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the [ Q] (Auto) 
setting will obtain the correct whit e 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.
[White balance ] will appear.
2Select a white balance setting.
Select the desired setting, then press 
.
 The “Approx. ****K” (K: Kelvin) 
displayed for the white balance 
settings < W>, , ,  
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. Perform this procedure 
under the actual light source to be used.
1Shoot a white object.
 Look through the viewfinder and aim 
the entire dotted line box (shown in 
the illustration) over a plain, white 
object.
 Focus manually and shoot with the 
standard exposure set for the white 
object.

You can use any white balance setting.

4Select [ O (Custom)].
Press the < WB> button.
 Select [ O (Custom) ], then press 
< 0 >.
 If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard 
exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.
 In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: Images captured 
while the Picture Style was set to [ Monochrome] (p.126), images 
processed with a Creative filter,  cropped images, and images taken with 
another camera.
 Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector 
(commercially available) can produc e a more accurate white balance.
 The personal white balance registered with EOS Utility (EOS software, 
p.404) will be registered under [ O]. If you perform step 3, the data for 
the registered personal white balance will be erased.

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 compens ating filter. Each color can be 
corrected to one of nine levels.
This function is for advanced users  who are familiar with using color 
temperature conversion or color compensating filters.
1Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].
Under the [z 2] tab, select [WB 
Shift/Bkt. ], then press < 0>.
 The WB correction/WB bracketing 
screen will appear.
2Set the white balance correction.
Press the  cross keys to move the 
“
  ” mark to the appropriate position.
 B is for blue, A for amber, M for 
magenta, and G for green. The 
image’s color balance will be adjusted 
towards the color in the direction of 
the move.
 On the upper right, “ Shift” indicates 
the direction and correction amount, 
respectively.
 Pressing the < L> button will cancel 
all the [ WB Shift/Bkt. ] settings.

White Balance Correction
Sample setting: A2, G1
 When the white balance is corrected, < u> will be displayed in the 
viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.
 One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds 
of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating 
the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Source K
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 increm\
ents.
Set the white balance bracketing amount.
In step 2 for “White Balance 
Correction”, when you turn the < 6> 
dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will 
change to “     ” (3 points).
Turning the dial to the right sets the B/
A bracketing, and turning it to the left 
sets the M/G bracketing.

On 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 SequenceThe 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 approx. one-
third the normal number.
 You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white 
balance bracketing. If you set AEB  in combination with white balance 
bracketing, a total of nine images  will be recorded for a single shot.
 Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record 
the image on the card.
 During Live View shooting or movie shooting, the white balance icon will 
blink.
 “Bkt ” stands for bracketing.

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 ContrastK
 Under [ 54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [ 3: Highlight tone priority] is 
set to [ 1: Enable ], [Auto Lighting Optimizer ] will be set automatically to 
[ 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.
In step 2, if you press the < B> button and uncheck [X] the [Disable 
during man expo ] setting, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can also be set in 
the < a> mode.

This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise 
reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high 
ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the 
image (shadow areas) is further reduced. Change the setting to suit the 
noise level.
1Select [High ISO speed NR].
Under the [ z3] tab, select [ High ISO 
speed NR], then press < 0>.
2Set the level.
 Select the desired noise reduction 
level, then press .
 [M: Multi Shot Noise Reduction]
This applies noise reduction wi th higher image quality than [High]. 
For a single photo, four shots  are taken continuously and aligned 
and merged automatically into a single JPEG image.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with noise 
reduction applied.
3  Setting Noise ReductionK
High ISO Speed Noise Reduction
If you play back or directly print a  1+73 or 1  image with the camera, 
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 (EOS software, p.404).

Noise reduction is possible with images exposed for 1 sec. or longer.
1Select [Long exp. noise 
reduction].
Under the [z 3] tab, select [Long 
exp. noise reduction ], then press 
< 0 >.
Long Exposure Noise Reduction
When [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is Set
 If there is significant misalignment in  the image due to camera shake, the 
noise reduction effect may be minimal.
 If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera 
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
 If you shoot a moving subject,  the moving subject may leave 
afterimages.
 The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 If the subject’s brightness changes as the four consecutive shots are 
taken, irregular exposure in the image may result.
 It takes some time to record images to the card since noise reduction is 
applied and the images are merged after shooting. During the 
processing of the images, “ BUSY” will be displayed, and you cannot take 
another picture until the processing is completed.
 1 +73  or 1  cannot be selected. AEB and WB bracketing cannot be 
used. [ z3: Long exp. noise reduction] cannot be set. If any of these 
has already been selected or set, [ Multi Shot Noise Reduction] cannot 
be set.
 The [ Distortion ] setting will be set automatically to [ Disable].
 Flash shooting is not possible.  The AF-assist beam will be emitted 
according to the [ 54: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ]’s [4: AF-assist beam 
firing ] setting.
 You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction ] for bulb exposures.
 If you turn off the power, change the shooting mode to a Basic Zone 
mode, shoot a bulb exposure, or shoot a movie, the setting will 
automatically be changed to [ Standard].
 [z 3: Dust Delete Data ] cannot be set.

3 Setting Noise Reduction K
2Set the desired setting.
Select the desired setting, then press 
.
 [Auto]
For exposures of 1 sec. or longer , 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 reduce noise that cannot be detected with 
the [Auto] setting.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with noise 
reduction applied.
 With [ Auto] and [ Enable ], the noise reduction process after the picture is 
taken may take the same amount of time as that for 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.
 With [Auto ] and [Enable ], if a long exposure is shot with the Live View 
image displayed, “BUSY ” will be displayed during the noise reduction 
process. The Live View display will not appear until the noise reduction is 
completed. (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 called chromatic aberrati on. And image distortion due to lens 
characteristics is called distortion.  These lens aberrations and light fall-
off can be corrected. By default, Peri pheral illumination and Chromatic 
aberration correction are set to [ Enable], and Distortion correction is set 
to [Disable].
If [ Cannot correct - no data ] is displayed, see “Lens Correction Data” 
on page 142.
1Select [Lens aberration 
correction].
Under the [z 1] tab, select [Lens 
aberration correction ], then press 
< 0 >.
2Select the setting.
 Check that [ Correction data 
available ] is displayed for the 
attached lens.
 Select [ Peripheral illumin. ], then 
press < 0>.
 Select [ Enable], then press < 0>.
3Take the picture.
 The image will be recorded with the 
peripheral illumination corrected.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image 
periphery.
The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction 
amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.404).
 The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
