Create copies with reduced peripheral distortion, reducing barrel distortion in pictures taken with wide-angle lenses or pin-cushion distortion in pictures taken with telephoto lenses. Select [Auto] to apply automatic distortion control before making fine adjustments with the multi selector. Select [Manual] to reduce distortion manually.

  • The effect can be previewed in the edit display.

  • [Auto] is for use only with pictures taken with type G, E, and D lenses. Note, however, that automatic distortion control is not supported with some lenses of these types, including PC and fisheyes lenses. Results are not guaranteed with other lenses.

  • Note that [Manual] must be used with copies created using the [Auto] option and with photos taken using the [Auto distortion control] option in the photo shooting menu. Manual distortion control cannot be further applied to copies created using [Manual].

  • Press 4 to reduce pincushion distortion, 2 to reduce barrel distortion.

  • Press J to save the retouched copy.

Distortion Control
  • Note that greater amounts of distortion control result in more of the edges being cropped out.

  • Distortion control may heavily crop or distort the edges of copies created from photographs taken with DX lenses at image areas other than [DX (24×16)].
