Displayed contents may differ depending on the connected camera.

5D Mk III

5D Mk III

COPY

You can shoot photos with a wide dynamic range where clipping in
highlights and shadows has been reduced, and photos that appear like
paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-life and landscape. In
HDR shooting, one shot is taken using three images shot with different
exposures (negative exposure, standard exposure, positive exposure),
and they are combined into a single image automatically. Shot HDR
images are recorded in JPEG quality.

* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Set to HDR.

 Select [HDR Mode] in the [Shooting menu], and in the dialog box

that appears, specify the required settings and click the [OK]
button.

 [Adjust dynamic range]: Sets the range of adjustment for

dynamic range. Select from [Disable HDR], [Auto], [±1 EV],
[±2 EV], and [±3 EV]. When selecting [Auto], the range of
adjustment will be set automatically depending on the image’s
overall tonal range.
The higher the number, the wider the dynamic range will be.

 [Effect] : Selects the finishing effect. For specific finishing

effects, refer to the pages about HDR (High Dynamic Range)
shooting in the Instruction Manual provided with your camera.

 [Continuous HDR]: If [1 shot only] is selected, HDR shooting is

cancelled automatically after you finish shooting. If you select
[Every shot], HDR shooting is continued until you select [Disable
HDR] in [Adjust dynamic range].

 [Save source images] : To save the three shot images

and the completed HDR image, select [All images]. To save only

Take a shot.

 The HDR mode cannot be set if you use any of the following

functions: AEB, white balance bracketing, Multi Shot Noise
Reduction, multiple exposures, flash exposure, bulb exposure,
or movie shooting.

 HDR shooting of a moving subject is not recommended because

the movement of the subject will appear as afterimages in the
merged image. HDR shooting is recommended for still subjects.

 In HDR shooting, 3 images are captured with different shutter

speeds set automatically. Therefore, even in Tv and M shooting
modes, the shutter speed will be shifted based on the shutter
speed set.

 To prevent camera shake, the ISO speed may be set higher than

usual.

 Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive

patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.

 The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be

reproduced correctly. Irregular colors or noise may appear.

 With HDR shooting, the three images will be merged after you

take a picture. Therefore, it will take a longer time to record the
HDR image than with normal shooting. During the merging of the
images, “BUSY” will be displayed on the camera and you cannot
take another picture until the merging is completed.

 Using a tripod is recommended. For handheld shooting, using a

fast shutter speed is recommended.

 If [Auto Image Align] is set to [Enable] and the HDR picture is

shot handheld, the edges of the photos will be cropped, lowering
the resolution slightly. Also, if the images cannot be aligned
properly due to camera shake, etc., auto image alignment may
not take effect. Note that when shooting with excessively bright
or dark exposure settings, auto image alignment may not work
properly.

 If you perform handheld HDR shooting while [Auto Image Align]

is set to [Disable], the 3 images may not be properly aligned and
the HDR effect may be minimal.

 HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in

unnatural color reproduction of the illuminated areas.

 In HDR mode, the options dimmed in the menu cannot be set.

Note that when you set HDR mode, for Auto Lighting Optimizer,
highlight tone priority, and exposure simulation, [Disable] will be
applied for shooting.

.

•

ALL-I (I-only)

: Compresses one frame at a time for recording.

Although the file size will be larger than with IPB,
the movie will be more suited for editing.

• IPB: Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently
for recording. Since the file size will be smaller
than with ALL-I, you can shoot longer.



• MJPG: When shooting a movie at 4K (4096 x 2160
pixels), Motion JPEG is used to compress the
movie recorded.
Each frame is compressed separately and
recorded without compression between frames.
The compression rate is therefore low. Since the
image size is large, the file size will also be large.

 When the is connected and Canon Log gamma is set

on the camera, the Canon Log gamma setting icon and [ ]
(View Assist) button are displayed in the Remote Live View
window (p.81, p.82).
Canon Log gamma is a movie characteristic to attain wide
dynamic range. As a result, the image displayed in the Remote
Live View window has low contrast and is somewhat dark
compared to when a Picture Style is set.
If you click the [ ] (View Assist) button, the movie image will
be displayed in the Remote Live View window with a
conspicuous characteristic. This makes it easier to check the
angle of view, details, etc.
Note that even if you click the [ ] (View Assist) button, it will

The card reader does not detect the SD card

EU and the camera are not communicating

COPY

If EU is not operating correctly, see the items below.

 Connect your camera and computer directly with the interface cable

provided with your camera. Do not connect the camera via a hub;
doing so may prevent EU and your camera from communicating
normally.

Introduction

Contents

 Select an administrator-level privilege ([Computer administrator],

[Administrator], etc.) as a user setting. You cannot install the software
if a user setting other than an administrator-level privilege is selected.
For detailed information on selecting an administrator-level privilege,
refer to your computer User’s Manual.

 When is connected to a computer with an interface

cable and the camera’s Wi-Fi setting is enabled, EU cannot start up.
Disable the Wi-Fi setting.

 Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards

might not be correctly detected. In such a case, connect your camera
and computer with the provided interface cable, and transfer the
images to your computer.

 If you connect multiple USB devices (not including the mouse or

keyboard) to your computer, the camera may not communicate
normally. If the camera cannot communicate normally, disconnect
USB devices other than the mouse or keyboard from your computer.

 Do not connect more than one camera to the same computer. Two or

more cameras may not operate normally.

 Do not connect your camera with the computer while performing

“Linked shooting” with a WFT series Wireless File Transmitter (sold
separately). Your camera may not operate normally.

 If there is insufficient charge left in the camera battery, the camera

cannot communicate with EU. Either replace with a fully charged
battery or use the AC adaptor kit (sold separately). Your computer
does not supply power to the camera through the interface cable.

EU.

 Do not put your computer to sleep mode while it is connected to the

camera. If your computer goes into sleep mode, never disconnect the
interface cable while your computer is still in sleep mode. Always
wake your computer up while it is still connected to the camera.
Depending on the type of computer, disconnecting the interface cable
