Preparing the Camcorder
34
• As long as [~ Camera Setup] > [Periph. Illum. Corr.] is set to [On], the camcorder will automatically apply
the appropriate correction data.
NOTES
• About lens correction data:
- The camcorder contains a register of correction data for compatible lenses that were available at the time
the camcorder went on sale. Correction data for future lenses will be made available as part of the regular
updates released for the camcorder’s firmware. For more details, visit your local Canon Web site.
- Depending on the recording conditions, noise may appear in the periphery of the image as a result of the
correction.
- The level of correction will be lower for lenses that cannot provide distance information.
- The level of correction will be lower the higher the ISO speed/gain setting used.
- No correction will be applied when correction data is not available for the lens attached.
- When using EF-S lenses, peripheral illumination fall-off may be more pronounced.
- When using non-Canon lenses, peripheral illumination will not be corrected.
