Caution When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the shutter- release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting speed may become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular. Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected. Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced.

HDR Shooting (PQ) HDR shooting (PQ)] enables you to capture HDR images conforming to the PQ specification (referring to the input signal gamma curve for HDR image display) defined in ITU-R BT.2100 and SMPTE ST.2084. Note Captured as HEIF or RAW images. For optimal viewing, use an HDR display device.
HDR Mode You can shoot still photos with clipped highlights and shadows reduced for a high dynamic range of tones even in high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and still-life shots. HDR shooting enhances gradation in dark image areas by merging three images deliberately captured at different exposures (standard, underexposed, and overexposed) to produce an HDR image that compensates for loss of detail in dark image areas.
Page 241

Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.
Distortion Correction Distortion (image warping) can be corrected. Caution Specifying distortion correction may subtly change the angle of view, resulting in images that are cropped a little and seem slightly less sharp. The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies. Note With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.

Digital Lens Optimizer Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution. If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
Chromatic Aberration Correction Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected. Note [Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Standard] or [High].

General precautions for lens aberration correction Lens aberration correction cannot be applied to existing JPEG/HEIF images. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed. Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not be recorded.
Page 264
Note General notes for lens aberration correction Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc. If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after shooting is recommended.

Shooting with a wider angle of view is recommended. After depth compositing, you can crop the image if necessary. For details on lenses compatible with this feature, visit the Canon website ( Suitable [Focus increment] settings vary by subject. An unsuitable [Focus increment] setting may cause unevenness in composite images, or shooting may take more time because more shots are taken.
