3Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners

Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture might look darker. This phenomenon is called lens light fall-off or drop in peripheral illumination and can be corrected automatically. The default setting is [Enable]. 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.270).

1Select [Peripheral illumin. correct.].

Under the [1] tab, select

[Peripheral illumin. correct.], then press <0>.

2 Select the setting.

On the screen, check that

[Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens.

If [Correction data not available] is displayed, see “About the Lens Correction Data” on the next page. Select [Enable], then press <0>.

3 Take the picture.

The image will be recorded with the corrected peripheral illumination.
