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 28 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 29 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 see page 5 29 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 m
