This function is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters. White Balance Correction 1 Select [WB Shift/Bkt.]. Under the [z2] tab, select [WB Shift/Bkt.
u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceK White Balance Auto Bracketing 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 increments. Set the white balance bracketing amount.
3 Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastK If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. 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. 1 Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>. the setting.
3 Setting Noise ReductionK High ISO Speed Noise Reduction 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.

Under the [z3] tab, select [High ISO speed NR], then press <0>. the level.
3 Setting Noise ReductionK 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.
3 Setting Noise ReductionK the desired setting. 2 Set Select the desired setting, then press <0>. [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. the picture.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations 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 aberration. And image distortion due to lens characteristics is called distortion. These lens aberrations and light falloff can be corrected.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Chromatic Aberration Correction 1 Select the setting. Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Chromatic aberration], then press <0>. Select [Enable], then press <0>. the picture. 2 Take The image will be recorded with the chromatic aberration corrected. Distortion Correction 1 Select the setting. Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations When distortion correction is enabled, the camera records an image range narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (Image periphery will be slightly cropped and resolution slightly lowered.) Distortion correction will be reflected in the captured image, but not in the viewfinder or Live View image during shooting. If you set [Distortion] to [Enable], the continuous shooting speed will decrease.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Cautions for Lens Correction Peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and distortion correction cannot be applied to JPEG images already taken. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
3 Reducing FlickerK If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. With anti-flicker shooting, the camera detects the frequency of the light source’s blinking and takes the picture when the flicker causes less effect on exposure or color.
3 Reducing FlickerK Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if you set [9: Mirror lockup] to [1: Enable], the [Anti-flicker shoot.] setting will automatically switch to [Disable]. If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image, flicker may not be detected.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult this Troubleshooting Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center. Power-Related Problems The battery pack does not recharge. Do not use any battery pack other than a genuine Battery Pack LP-E17. The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
Troubleshooting Guide [Battery communication error. Does this battery/do these batteries display the Canon logo?] is displayed. Do not use any battery pack other than a genuine Battery Pack LPE17. Remove and install the battery again (p.38). If the battery contacts are dirty, use a soft cloth to clean them. The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.36). The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.47). The viewfinder is dark. Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.36). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.39). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.39). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.39, 318).
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot. Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the AI Servo AF mode, or when servo takes effect in AI Focus AF mode (p.110). Linear noise or moire appears in the image. Depending on the subject, linear noise or moire may be recorded in the image. It is likely to occur especially in the following cases. • Shooting fine horizontal stripes, lattice patterns, etc.
Troubleshooting Guide The continuous shooting speed is slow. Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may become slower. If [z3: Anti-flicker shoot.] is set to [Enable] and you shoot under a flickering light source, the continuous shooting speed may become slightly slower, or the continuous shooting interval may become irregular. Also, the time lag until shutter release may be slightly longer than usual (p.154).
Troubleshooting Guide Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image comes out bright. Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Low], [Standard], or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come out bright (p.146). When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
Troubleshooting Guide Flash exposure compensation cannot be set for the external Speedlite. If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 0), flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera. High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [Auto] (p.184).
Troubleshooting Guide Movie shooting stops by itself. If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. Use an SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or faster card. To find out the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site, etc. If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting. In shooting modes other than , the ISO speed is set automatically.
Troubleshooting Guide Wi-Fi Wi-Fi cannot be set. If the camera is connected to a computer, printer, GPS receiver, TV set, or other device with a cable, Wi-Fi cannot be set ([51: Wi-Fi/NFC] will be grayed out). Disconnect the cable before changing any settings. For details, refer to the Wi-Fi/NFC Function Instruction Manual. Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with the <6> dial or <5> dial. Set the switch to the left (lock release, p.55).
Troubleshooting Guide The menu screen shows fewer tabs and options. In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.59). The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.156). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.278). The file numbering does not start from 0001.
Troubleshooting Guide [###] is displayed. If the number of images recorded on the card exceeds the number the camera can display, [###] will be displayed (p.299). The LCD monitor does not display a clear image. If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it. In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. [Eye-Fi settings] does not appear.
Troubleshooting Guide Camera operation noise can be heard when the movie is played back. If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.266). The movie has still moments. During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes. In such cases, shoot in mode (p.237).
Troubleshooting Guide A red box is displayed on the image. [32: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.323). A red box is not displayed on the image. Even if [32: AF point display] is set to [Enable] (p.323), the red box is not displayed for the following images: • Images shot with Multi Shot Noise Reduction (p.147) • Images recorded with distortion correction enabled (p.151) • Images shot with or in <8> mode • Cropped images (p.331) • Images with Fish-eye effect applied after shooting (p.
Troubleshooting Guide Printing-Related Problems There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual. Contents displayed on the screen vary depending on the printer. This instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.338). Direct printing does not work. If any of the following shooting modes or functions is set, the camera cannot be connected to a printer. Cancel all the relevant settings, then reconnect the camera to the printer with an interface cable.
Error Codes Error number If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Cause and countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens, use a Canon lens, or remove and install the battery pack again (p.25, 26, 38). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
