Lens aberration correction is a function to correct lens aberration at development in order to create high quality image.
Photo lenses have aberration. Today, the resolution of digital camera is improved, therefore, lens aberration may have a damaging effect on the picture quality. There are various kinds of lens aberration such as spherical aberration, coma aberration, astigmatism, curved field, distortion aberration, axial chromatic aberration, chromatic aberration of magnification, and shading reduction that is a decrease of light volume occurring in the periphery. To adjust these aberration three corrections are available:
shading, distortion, and chromatic aberration.
Shading (Peripheral Brightness) Correction
|
Chromatic Aberration Correction
|
On lens, light volume is decreasing toward the periphery area. The light volume is larger in a wide-angle lens and smaller in a telescopic lens.
You can use this function to adjust the level of correction for the following cases. The case you want to remain the shading effect without complete correction since the shading is one of the effects which is unique to a lens. Or a case that a bright object is on the periphery of a photo and it is lost when you make corrections. You can also increase the shading level by setting minus value. Use the value to emphasize the center area on purpose by darkening the periphery, or to make the background quiet.
