Page 94 S Selecting the AF Area and AF PointN AF Point Display Indications Pressing the <S> button lights up the AF points that are cross-type AF points for high-precision autofocusing. The blinking AF points are horizontal-line or vertical-line sensitive. For details, see pages 99-103. Registering the AF point You can register a frequently-used AF point to the camera.
Page 95: Af Area Selection Modes
AF Area Selection ModesN Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) For pinpoint focusing over a narrower area than with single-point AF (manual selection). Select one AF point < > to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing or focusing overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF (manual selection) covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject.
Page 96 AF Area Selection ModesN AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point <S> and surrounding AF points <w> are used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point expansion (manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a wider area.
Page 97 AF Area Selection ModesN Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone) The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF, it is superior in focusing on the subject. Since auto selection AF is used, it is superior to single-point AF or AF point expansion in achieving focus, making it effective for moving subjects.

Page 181: Correction Of Lens Peripheral Illumination And Aberrations
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.
Page 182 3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Chromatic Aberration Correction 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>. Take the picture. The image will be recorded with the chromatic aberration corrected.
Page 183 3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations When distortion correction is enabled, the camera records an image range narrower than that seen through the viewfinder. (Image periphery will be slightly cropped and resolution slightly lowered.) If you set [Distortion] to [Enable], the maximum burst (p.153) during continuous shooting will decrease.
Page 184 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. If you use magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and distortion correction will not be reflected in the image shown on the screen.
Page 185: Reducing Flicker
Reducing FlickerN 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.
Page 186 3 Reducing FlickerN If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image, flicker may not be detected. Under certain special types of lighting, the camera may not be able to reduce the effects of the flicker even while <G> is displayed. Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
Page 187: Setting The Color Space
