171 Q A Registering Customized Picture Styles N 5Select a parameter. Tap the parameter to be set. 6Set the parameter. Tap [ Y]/[Z ] to set the parameter, then tap [ 2]. For details, see “Adjusting the Picture Style” on pages 166-169. The base Picture Style will be indicated under [ User Def.*]. If a Picture Style has already been registered under [ User Def.*], changing the base Picture Style in step 4 will nullify the parameter settings of the registered Picture Style. If you execute [ Clear all camera settings ] (p.216), all the [User Def.*] settings will revert to their defaults. Picture Styles registered via EOS Utility (provided software) will have only their modified parameters reverted to their default settings. To shoot with a registered Picture Style, follow step 3 on page 114 to select [ User Def.* ], then shoot. Regarding the procedure to register a Picture Style file to the camera, refer to the EOS Utility Instructions (p.340).
172 The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with < Q>, you can select the white balance that matches the light source or set it manually by shooting a sheet of white paper, etc. 1Display the Quick Control screen. 2Tap a white balance to select it. Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure under the actual light source to be used. 1Photograph a white object. Fill the LCD monitor screen with a sheet of white paper, etc. Focus manually and set the standard exposure for the white object. You can set any white balance. Q B : Matching the Light Source N O Custom White Balance
173 Q B : Matching the Light Source N 2Select [Custom White Balance]. Under the [A 4] tab, select [Custom White Balance ], then press . The custom white balance selection screen will appear. 3Import the white balance data. Select the image that was captured in step 1, then press < Q/0 >. On the dialog screen that appears, select [OK ] and the data will be imported. When the menu reappears, press the button to exit the menu. 4Press < Q/0 >. Display the Quick Control screen. 5Select the custom white balance. Select [ O], then press < Q/0 >. If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained. An image captured while the Picture Style was set to [ Monochrome] (p.115) or an image processed with a Creative filter cannot be selected in step 3. Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.
174 You can correct the white balance that has been set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. This function is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters. 1Select [WB Shift/Bkt.]. Under the [A 4] tab, select [WB Shift/Bkt.], then press < Q/0 >. The WB correction/WB bracketing screen will appear. 2Set the white balance correction. Press the < Wj /i >// < Y A >/ button to move the “ ” mark on the screen to the desired position. B is for blue, A for amber, M for magenta, and G for green. The color in the respective direction will be corrected. On the upper right, “ Shift” indicates the direction and correction amount. Pressing the < B> button will cancel all the [ WB Shift/Bkt.] settings. Press < Q/0 > to exit the setting and return to the menu. 3 u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN White Balance Correction Sample setting: A2, G1 One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)
175 3 u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Source N With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments. Set the white balance bracketing amount. In step 2 for white balance correction, when you turn the < 5> dial, the “” mark on the screen will change to “ ” (3 points).Turning the dial to the right sets the B/ A bracketing, and turning it to the left sets the M/G bracketing. On the right, “Bracket” indicates the bracketing direction and correction amount. Pressing the button will cancel all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings. Press < Q/0 > to exit the setting and return to the menu. Bracketing Sequence The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias. White Balance Auto Bracketing B/A bias ±3 levels During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx. one-third the normal number. You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the shot to the card. “BKT ” stands for bracketing.
176 The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this camera, the color space for captured images can be set to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set. 1Select [Color space]. Under the [A 4] tab, select [Color space], then press < Q/0 >. 2Set the desired color space. Select [ sRGB] or [Adobe RGB ], then press < Q/0 >. This is mainly for industrial use (printing machines, etc.). This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing of the image with software will therefore be required. 3 Setting the Color Reproduction RangeN About Adobe RGB If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”. The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC profile in the PDF Software Instruction Manual on the DVD-ROM.
