Preparing the Camcorder
- 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. Even if the [~ Camera Setup]

# Updating the Firmware of an EF Lens
You can update the lens firmware of the EF lens attached to the camcorder. For details about firmware updates
for EF lenses, visit your local Canon Web site.
1 Download the lens firmware update file from the Canon Web site and
save it on an SD card. Insert the SD card containing the lens firmware
update into the SD card slot.
2 Attach to the camcorder the lens you wish to update and open the
[Lens Firmware] submenu.
[w Other Functions] > [Lens Firmware]
• The current lens firmware version will appear on the screen.

procedure from the beginning.
