3Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction

Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be corrected. The default settings are [Enable] for both corrections.

Peripheral Illumination Correction

1Select [Lens aberration correction].

Under the [z2] tab, select [Lens aberration correction], then press <0>.

2 Select the setting.

Check that [Correction data

available] is displayed for the attached lens.

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

Select [Enable], then press <0>. If [Correction data not available] is displayed, see “Lens Correction Data” on page 148.

3 Take the picture.

The image will be recorded with the peripheral illumination corrected.

Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.

The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.456). The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
