Panasonic 7-14mm distortion in video mode - rinaldo - 08-03-2010

I plan to get an UWA and want minimal distortions for my video work, as I already have the oly 8mm 3.5 fisheye. I'm interested in how GH1+7/14mm deal with distortion while shooting video. I've seen videos mostly at 7mm, which IMO shows a lot of distortion at the edges. Haven't seen any at 9 or 10mm (just photos). If I understood, Photozone reviewed that distortion is corrected in-camera, via software, but for photos. Will the correction be applied in video? At least, it should be better than in the M.Zuiko 9-18mm... any thoughts?

Well, I can only speculate here. The LiveView image is free of distortions and I guess the movies are based on this.

Corrected on videos as well on Olympus cameras and I would expect the same on Panasonics
