Setting Chromatic AberrationCompensation (CAC)

The CAC function of the camera corrects the registration error caused by the slight chromatic aberration that the lens cannot compensate for. This minimizes color bleeding into the surrounding image areas.

Lenses compatible with the CAC function whose CAC data is registered in the camera will automatically start CAC operation.

CAC data for the following lenses have been stored in the camera as default values.
