Post-ProcessingImages
You can process RAW images  with the camera or 
resize (shrink) JPEG images.
  The  M mark shown on the right of the page title indicates 
that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes 
( d /s /f /a/F).
  The camera may not be  able to process images taken with 
another camera.
  Post-processing images as described in this chapter is not 
possible if the camera is set for  multiple exposures, or while it 
is connected to a  computer via the < C> terminal.

You can process 1 images with the camera and save them as JPEG 
images. While the RAW image itself  does not change, you can process 
the RAW image according to different  conditions to create any number 
of JPEG images from it.
Note that 41  and 61  images cannot be processed with the 
camera. Use Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.392) to 
process those images.

  Color space  (p.140)You can select either sRGB or Ad obe RGB. Since the camera’s LCD 
monitor is not compatible with Adobe  RGB, the image will not look very 
different when either color space is set.
   Peripheral illumination correction  (p.131)If [Enable ] is set, the corrected image will  be displayed. If the effect is 
difficult to discern, press the < u> button to magnify the image and 
check the corners. (Press the < u> button again to return to the normal 
view.) The peripheral illumination corre ction applied with the camera will 
be less pronounced than with Digital  Photo Professional (provided 
software) and may be less apparent. In  such a case, use Digital Photo 
Professional to app ly the peripheral illumination correction.
  Distortion correctionWhen [ Enable ] is set, image distortion due to  the lens characteristics is 
corrected. If [ Enable] is set, the corrected im age will be displayed. The 
image periphery will be crop ped in the corrected image.
Since the image resolution may look slightly lower, use the Picture Style’s 
sharpness parameter to make adjustments as necessary.
When processing images with [ Distortion correction] set to [Enable], AF 
point display information  (p.240) and Dust Delete data (p.281) will not be 
appended to the image.

   Chromatic aberration correctionWhen [ Enable ] is set, the lens’ chromati c aberrations (color fringing 
along the subject’s outline) can be corrected. If [ Enable] is set, the 
corrected image will be displayed. If the effect is di fficult to discern, press 
the  button to magnify the image. (Press the < u> button again to 
return to the normal view.)
About Peripheral Illumination Correction, Distortion 
Correction, and Chromatic Aberration Correction
To execute peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction, and 
chromatic aberration  correction with the camera,  the data of the lens used 
for the shot must be regi stered in the camera. If th e lens data has not been 
registered in the camera, use EOS Ut ility (provided software, p.392) to 
register the lens data.
Processing RAW images in the camera  will not produce the same results as 
processing RAW images with Digital Photo Professional.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit to 
automatically shake off du st adhered to the image 
sensor’s front layer  (low pass filter).
The Dust Delete Data can  also be appended to the 
image so that the dust spot s remaining can be erased 
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided 
software, p.392).
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensorBesides dust entering the camera  from outside, in rare cases 
lubricant from the  camera’s internal parts ma y adhere to the front of 
the sensor. If visible spots still re main after the automatic sensor 
cleaning, having the  sensor cleaned by a Ca non Service Center is 
recommended.
Even while the Self Cleaning Sens or Unit is operating, you can 
press the shutter button  halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start 
shooting immediately.

							280
Whenever you set the power switch to  or < 2>, the Self 
Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to aut omatically shake off the dust on 
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this 
operation. However, you can choose  to perform sensor cleaning at any 
time, or disable it.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
 Under the [ 54] tab, select [ Sensor 
cleaning], then press < 0>.
2Select [Clean nowf ].
 Select [Clean now f], then press 
< 0 >.
  Select [OK ] on the dialog screen, 
then press < 0>.
XThe screen will indicate that the 
sensor is being cleaned. Although 
there will be a shutter sound, a 
picture is not taken.
  In step 2, select [ Auto cleaningf] and set it to [ Disable].
XThe sensor cleaning will no lon ger be executed when you set the 
power switch to < 1> or < 2>.

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
 For best results, perform the sensor  cleaning with the camera placed 
upright and stable on a ta ble or other flat surface.
  Even if you repeat  the sensor cleaning, the re sult will not improve much. 
Immediately after the sensor  cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf] 
option will remain  disabled temporarily.
