Page 222 Changing the Focusing Method Notes About [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], and [FlexiZone - Single] AF Operation Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again. The image brightness may change during and after the AF operation. If he light source changes during autofocusing, the screen may flicker and focusing may be difficult.
Page 223 In the above cases, if the camera cannot focus automatically, focus manually. With some EF lenses (Mount Adapter EF-EOS M required), it may take longer to achieve focus or correct focus may not be achieved. For the latest information, visit your local Canon Web site.
Page 224 Changing the Focusing Method Using Continuous AF The default setting is [Enable]. Since the focus is constantly close to the subject, when you press the shutter button, the camera quickly focuses the subject. If [Enable] is set, the lens will operate frequently and consume more battery power. This will reduce the number of possible shots (battery life).

Page 228 When shooting, note the following: Image Quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may become no iceable. Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image. If you shoot continuously for a long period, the camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may deteriorate.
Page 229 When shooting, note the following: Image on the LCD monitor Under low- or bright-light condi ions, the Live View image may not reflect the brightness of the captured image. If the light source within he image changes, the screen may flicker. If this happens, stop shooting and resume shooting under the actual light source.

Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images, the correction is done when the image is captured. For RAW images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.340).
Page 260: Noise Reduction Settings
Noise Reduction SettingsN High ISO Speed Noise Reduction This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) is further reduced.
Page 261 3 Noise Reduction SettingsN About [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] The following functions cannot be set: AEB, WB bracketing, [A4: Long exp. noise reduction], 1+73/1. If any of these has already been set, [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] cannot be set. Flash shooting is not possible. You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] for bulb exposures.

Page 263: Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject outlines is another chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be corrected. RAW images can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.340).
