Good review, as always.

 

I'm wondering about this auto correction business with RAWs.  I understand that enabling auto correction in camera will affect RAWs with regard to CA, distortion and vignetting, but how do the RAW editors deal with this in terms of lens profiles?

 

Example, I notice there is an FE 35mm profile in Adobe Camera RAW, but does the profile assume lens correction is on or off in camera?  I assume the Adobe profile is designed to apply a fixed set of correction values, so anybody using this would surely need to be careful that they choose the correct setting in camera, otherwise the correction values will be wrong.

 

I didn't find the time to mess up with the metadata in ARW, but there could be a metadata item saying whether the in-camera corrections were applied or not, and Lightroom might use it. Consider tons of conditionals here...
