displayed. (The image periphery will also be slightly cropped.)If the
effect is difficult to discern, press the <(_> button to magnify the
image. (Press the <[]._> button to return to the normal view.) The
chromatic aberration correction done with the camera will be less
pronounced than with Digital Photo Professional (provided
software). Therefore the correction might not be so noticeable. In
such a case, use Digital Photo Professional to correct the chromatic
aberration. Chromatic aberration refers to the inaccurate
convergence of colors along the fringes of a subject.
_ The result of RAW image processed in the camera and RAW image
processed with Digital Photo Professionaldoes notmatch exactly.
Even if imageverification data (p.260) is appended to the RAW image,
the imageverification datais not appended to theJPEG image after

About peripheral illumination correction, distortion
correction, and chromatic aberration correction
Toexecute peripheral illuminationcorrection,distortion correction, and
chromatic aberration correctionwith the camera, the data ofthe lens used
for the shot must be registeredin the camera. Ifthe lensdata has not been
registered in the camera, use F:OSUtility tprovided software)to register the
lens data.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached
to the image sensor's front layer (low-pass filter) to
shake off dust automatically.
The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the
image so that the dust spots remaining can be erased
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided
software).
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant
from the camera's internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor.
In case visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor cleaning,
having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
_] Even while the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is Operating, YOUCan
press the shutter button halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start
shooting immediately.

_E_ Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <ON> or <OFF>, the Self
Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to automatically shake off the dust on
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this
operation. However, you can execute the sensor cleaning at anytime as
well as disable it.

Appending Dust Delete Data _
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit wiii eliminate most of the dust
that might be visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image for
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital
Photo Professional (provided software) to erase the dust spots
automatically.
Preparation
® Get a solid-white object (paper, etc.).
® Set the lens focal length to 50mm or longer.
® Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and set the focus to infinity
(oo).if the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens and
turn the focusing ring clockwise aii the way.

About the Dust Delete Data
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
To erase dust spots automatically with the provided software, see the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.

Manual Sensor Cleaning _
Dust which could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a blower, etc.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the
sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon
Service Center is recommended.
Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.

Manual Sensor Cleaning _
_J_ _ While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. Doing any
of the following witi cut off the power and close the shutter. The
shutter curtains and image sensor might get damaged.
-Setting the power switch to < OFF >.
•Opening the battery compartment cover.
= Opening the card slot cover.
The surface of the image sensor isextremely delicate. Clean the sensor
with care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the
sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If
Lhepower is cut off. the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or
reflex mirror might get damaged.
Never use canned air or £as to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Printing images
_ Printing (p.236)
You can connect the camera directly to a printer and print
out the images in the card. The camera is compatible with
"?_#'PictBridge" which is the standard for direct printing.
_ Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) (p.245)
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) enables you to print
images recorded in the card according to your printing
instructions such as the image selection, quantity to print,
etc. You can print multiple images in one batch or give the
print order to a photofinisher.

Preparing to Print
The direct printing procedure is done entirely with the camera
while you look at the LCD monitor.
