3Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners

Lens Correction Data

The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction data for approx. 25 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.318), 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 (p.321) on the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM.

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- anon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended, even if [ orrection data available] is displayed.

If you use the magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral illumination correction will not be reflected in the image shown on the LCD monitor.

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 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 Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).

If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will be lower.

The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
