Configuring your Camera

Lens Optimization

Overview

Some lenses produce a color shift in the corners of images. Your camera

 

has a feature that corrects this color shift to create a more uniform image.

 

There are three methods for controlling the strength of this correction.

 

Method one: Auto—(see page 5-32) This method automatically

 

determines the correction strength for each image based on analysis of the

 

image data. This feature works with most lenses and may be the only

 

method you ever need to use. When the camera is in Auto, all of the work is

 

done for you.

 

NOTE: The Auto method is recommended if your images are not showing

 

anomalies.

 

Method two: Manual—(see page 5-33) This method allows you to

 

directly input the correction strength. This method is provided for testing,

 

and is not for daily use.

 

Method three: Lens Selection—(seepage 5-33) This method

 

determines the correction strength by selecting the specific lens you are

 

using. Since the camera cannot uniquely identify every lens attached, you

 

must select the lens from a list. Your camera contains a master list of

 

commonly used, current model lenses from several manufacturers. You

 

can easily add additional lenses to the master list. There is a conveniently

 

accessible user list for the lenses you use most often. The camera can

 

usually automatically identify and select the current lens if it is in the user

 

list. It is easy to maintain this list by adding and removing lenses.

 

The master list includes default correction strengths for each lens.

 

Sometimes these defaults are not ideal. You can adjust the strength for any

 

lens in the master list. If you define new lenses (see page 5-39), you will

 

need to set the strengths for them as well.

 

We recommend that you try the Auto method first and only use the Lens

 

Selection method if you are not satisfied with the results of the automatic

 

optimization.
