Lens Correction

Reduces distortions and lateral chromatic aberrations occurring due to lens properties.

Distortion

Distortion is the phenomenon in which the center of the image appears inflated (barrel distortion) or the center of the image appears pinched (pincushion distortion). Distortion occurs more easily when using a zoom lens or a small diameter lens, and straight walls or the horizon in the image appear curved.

Lateral chromatic aberration

Lateral chromatic aberration is the phenomenon in which the magnification of the image varies according to the colors (wavelengths of light) when a picture was taken, and may cause a blurred image. Lateral chromatic aberration occurs more easily at shorter focal lengths.
