3Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners

Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture may look darker. This phenomenon is called lens light 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.318).

1Select [Peripheral illumin. correct.].

Under the [z1] 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>.

3 Take the picture.

The image will be recorded with the peripheral illumination corrected.
