Lens calibrations saved in the default location (

Leaf Tables/Lens Calibrations

) appear in the 

Camera Configuration dialog box. See 

When you are Shooting Tethered

, on page 4. 

If you selected 

Load lens calibration

, the lens calibration file is loaded to your camera back and 

remains active for as long as you are tethered.  

Note:

 If you entered a falloff correction, it is applied for this load only. 

When you are Shooting Tethered 

For optimal results when shooting tethered, you must specify the lens you are using and the lens 

calibration file when you connect the camera back to the Leaf Capture software. 

1.  Start the Leaf Capture software. 

2. Click 

Open Camera Configuration

 to open the Camera Configuration dialog box. 

 

3.  In the Camera Configuration dialog box, from the 

Lens

 list, select the appropriate lens calibration file 

and click 

OK

Use the reference table below to determine the correct lens calibration file for the lens you are using. 

For most lenses, the “Generic Lens” lens calibration file is sufficient. 

4.  Connect the camera back to the Leaf Capture software. 

The lens calibration file is loaded and the maximum possible fall off correction is applied. You can now 
shoot using the lens calibration file.
