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 and chromatic aberration correction will not be reflected in the image shown on the screen.
Page 191: 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 192 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 when <G> is displayed. Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
