The basic settings are as follows, and by adjusting the [Firing group] setting, you can set up a variety of wireless multi-flash photography.
Page 244 [ All] Firing multiple receivers as a single flash unit This is convenient when a high level of flash output is needed. All flash units are controlled to fire with the same output and provide standard exposure. All receivers fire as part of the same group, regardless of whether they are assigned to firing group A, B, or C.
Page 245 [ (A:B)] Firing multiple receivers in multiple groups You can divide receivers into flash groups A and B, and you can adjust the relative output of each to obtain the desired lighting. Referring to the instruction manual of the flash unit, assign some receivers to firing group A and others to firing group B, and arrange them as shown.

Page 271: Lens Aberration Correction
Lens Aberration Correction Peripheral Illumination Correction Distortion Correction Digital Lens Optimizer Chromatic Aberration Correction Diffraction Correction Vignetting, image distortion, and other issues may be caused by lens optical characteristics. The camera can compensate for these phenomena by using [Lens aberration correction]. Select [ : Lens aberration correction].
Page 272 Select [Enable]. Confirm that the name of the attached lens and [Correction data available] are displayed (except when [Diffraction correction] is set). If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed, see Digital Lens Optimizer. Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.
Page 273 Distortion Correction Distortion (image warping) can be corrected. Caution To correct distortion, the camera captures a narrower image area than the area seen when shooting, which crops the image a little and slightly lowers the apparent resolution. Setting distortion correction may change the angle of view slightly. When you magnify images, distortion correction is not applied to the images displayed.
Page 274 Digital Lens Optimizer Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution. If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
Page 275 Chromatic Aberration Correction Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected. Note [Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is enabled.
Page 276 JPEG images already taken. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed. Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not be recorded.
Page 277 Note General notes for lens aberration correction The effect of the lens aberration correction varies depending on the lens used and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc. If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after shooting is recommended.

When shooting at low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) can further be reduced. Select [ : High ISO speed NR].
Page 315 Caution [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] Precautions If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may become smaller. Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots. Using a tripod is recommended. If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages. Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.

Page 318 Select [OK]. After the automatic self-cleaning of the sensor is performed, a message will appear. Although there will be a mechanical sound of the shutter during the cleaning, no picture is taken.
Page 319 Shoot a plain white object. Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper) filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–1.0 ft.). Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if there is no card in the camera.
Page 320 Dust Delete Data Appending Once acquired, Dust Delete Data is appended to still photos captured after that point. Acquiring Dust Delete Data before shooting is recommended. For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual. File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.
Page 321: Anti-Flicker Shooting
Anti-Flicker Shooting Uneven exposure and color may result if you shoot at fast shutter speeds under flickering light sources such as fluorescent lights, due to uneven vertical exposure. Anti-flicker shooting enables viewfinder shooting at moments when exposure and colors are less affected by flickering.
Page 322 Caution When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the shutter- release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting speed may become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular. Not applied to mirror lockup shots, Live View shooting, or movie recording. Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected.

Continuous AF (Live View Shooting) This function keeps subjects generally in focus in Live View shooting. The camera is ready to focus immediately when you press the shutter button halfway. Select [ : Continuous AF]. Select [Enable]. Caution Enabling this function reduces the number of shots available, because the lens is driven continuously and battery power is consumed.

General Still Photo Shooting Precautions Both Viewfinder and Live View Shooting In Live View Shooting Information Display in Live View Shooting Both Viewfinder and Live View Shooting Caution Image quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may become noticeable.
Page 328 In Live View Shooting Caution Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camera's internal components. Image quality Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause the camera's internal temperature to rise and affect image quality.
Page 329 Images and display Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the brightness of the captured image. Under low light, noise may be noticeable in image display even at low ISO speeds, but there will be less noise in your shots, because image quality varies between display and captured images.

Wireless Communication Function Precautions Distance Between the Camera and the Smartphone Installation Location of Access Point Antenna Nearby Electronic Devices Precautions for Using Multiple Cameras If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the wireless communication functions, try the following corrective actions.
Page 622 Installation Location of Access Point Antenna When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using the camera. Install the device where people or objects do not come between the device and the camera.
Page 623 Nearby Electronic Devices If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices to transmit communication. The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band.
Page 624 Precautions for Using Multiple Cameras When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make sure the cameras' IP addresses are different. When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the transmission rate drops. When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of five channels between each Wi-Fi channel to reduce radio wave interference.
