Notes
  • Judged based on image.canon proprietary standards.
  • The functionality and performance of automatic image sorting will not always match your intentions or expectations.
  • If the subject within the image is extremely small, cut off, or the whole image is dark, the subject category judgement may not sort the images as you intend or expect.
  • Exposure judgement, in backlit scenes, night view scenes, and snow scenes, etc. may not sort images as you intend or expect.
  • If the image resolution low, the whole image is dark, or the area in focus is extremely small compared to the image size, the blur judgement may not be as you intend or expect.
  • The image.canon analysis mechanism and judgement standards differ from the blur judgement for the camera main unit.
  • If the images uploaded to image.canon are saved on an SD card and returned to the camera, and you perform editing tasks such as image rotation or rating on the camera, it may not be possible to play them on the camera or they may be corrupted.
