● Noise may occur around the edges of images shot under some
conditions if you set [Peripheral illumin.] to [Enable].
● When setting [Diraction] to [Enable], keep the following points
in mind.
- When correcting lens aberration, this feature may also make
noise more noticeable, under some shooting conditions.
- The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction
will be.
- Correction is not applied to movies.
Movies
● The eect of peripheral illumination correction is slightly less than
that of maximum correction in Digital Photo Professional.
● The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of peripheral
illumination correction will be.
● [Diraction] corrects loss of sharpness not only from diraction but
also from the low-pass lter and other factors. Thus, correction is
also eective for exposures with the aperture wide open.
● Download software instruction manuals from the Canon website
as needed. For downloading instructions, see “Software
Instruction Manual” (=
175).
Lens Correction Data
Lens correction data for lenses compatible with this feature is registered
(stored) on the camera. Set [Peripheral illumin.] and [Chromatic
aberration] to [Enable] for automatic correction.
Using EOS Utility, you can check which lenses have correction data
registered on the camera. You can also register correction data for lenses
that have not been registered yet. For details, refer to the EOS Utility
instruction manual (= 175).
* Note that there is no need to register information for EF-M lenses, or for EF lenses
that incorporate their own correction data.
● Existing JPEG images cannot be corrected.
● Eects of peripheral illumination correction and chromatic
aberration correction are not displayed when shooting with a
magnied view. Similarly, the eect of diraction correction is not
displayed at the time of shooting.
● The amount of correction (except diraction correction) is less for
lenses that do not provide distance information.

● Eects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting
conditions. With some lenses and under some shooting

● Unexpected results may occur if images are quite misaligned
(from camera shake, for example). Mount the camera on a tripod
or take other measures to keep it still, if possible.
● If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may
leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may
become dark.
● Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the
image periphery.
● Not available with AEB or [Long exp. noise reduction], or when
shooting RAW images or bulb exposures. Setting up these
