Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Enable], then press <0>. Take the picture. The image will be recorded with the chromatic aberration corrected.
Page 156 3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image range narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.) Distortion correction will be reflected in the captured image, but it cannot be seen in the viewfinder during shooting.
Page 157 3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Lens Correction Data The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered (stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion correction, and diffraction correction will be applied automatically. With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.444), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera.
Page 158 JPEG images already taken. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed. The correction amount will be less (except for diffraction correction) if the lens used does not have distance information.
Page 159: Setting The Color Reproduction Range (Color Space)

Page 413 Troubleshooting Guide [Battery communication error. Does this battery/do these batteries display the Canon logo?] is displayed. Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E17. Remove and install the battery again (p.38). If the electrical contacts are dirty, use a soft cloth to clean them.
Page 414 Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.48). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.38). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.38). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.38, 339).
Page 415 Troubleshooting Guide The image is out of focus or blurred. Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <AF> (p.48). Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.50-51). With a lens equipped with the Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
Page 416 Troubleshooting Guide The standard exposure cannot be obtained or the exposure is irregular. During viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting, if you use a TS-E lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an extension tube, the standard exposure may not be obtained or the exposure may be irregular.
Page 417 Troubleshooting Guide Expanded ISO speeds cannot be selected. Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1:Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - ISO 25600 (up to ISO 12800 for movies) even when [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1:On].
Page 418 Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash rises by itself. In shooting modes (<A> <C> <8: 2qC46> <v: GWXZH>) whose default setting is <a> (Built-in autoflash), the built-in flash will be raised automatically when necessary. In the <8: xG> and <v: ABCD> modes, when you press the shutter button halfway under low-light conditions, the built-in flash may be raised automatically and emit the AF-assist beam.
Page 419 Troubleshooting Guide The camera makes a noise when it is shaken. A small noise may be heard when the camera’s internal mechanism moves slightly. The shutter makes two release sounds during Live View shooting. If you use flash, the shutter will make two release sounds each time you shoot (p.198).
Page 420 Troubleshooting Guide The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting. In shooting modes other than <a>, the ISO speed is set automatically. In the <a> mode, you can manually set the ISO speed (p.239). The exposure changes during movie shooting. If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Page 421 Troubleshooting Guide Wi-Fi Wi-Fi cannot be set. If the camera is connected to a computer or other device with an interface cable, Wi-Fi functions cannot be set. ([51: Wireless communication settings] will be grayed out.) Disconnect the interface cable before setting any functions. Refer to the Wi-Fi (Wireless Communication) Function Instruction Manual.
Page 422 Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows fewer tabs and options. Certain tabs or menu options are not displayed in Basic Zone modes. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.60). Under the [9] tab, [Menu display] is set to [Display only My Menu tab] (p.377).
Page 423 Troubleshooting Guide [###] is displayed. If the number of images recorded on the card exceeds the number the camera can display, [###] will be displayed (p.319). 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.
Page 424 Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. It is the highlight alert (p.353). Overexposed areas with clipped highlights will blink. The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.336). The movie cannot be played back. Movies edited with a computer cannot be played back with the camera.
Page 425 Troubleshooting Guide There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot. If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically (p.247). However, if you use an SDXC card formatted with the camera, you can record a movie in a single file even if it exceeds 4 GB.
Page 426 Troubleshooting Guide Dots of light appear on the image. White, red, blue, or other colored dots of light may appear on images if the sensor is affected by cosmic rays, etc. Their appearance may be reduced by performing [Clean nowf] under [53: Sensor cleaning] (p.302).
Page 427: Error Codes
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 again (p.27, 48, 38). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with the camera.
