When you are Shooting Portable
When shooting portable, the “Generic Lens” lens calibration file is used when you take your shots.
If the lens you are using requires a more specific lens calibration, use post-processing to correct lens
calibration. Use the EXIF info to remind you of the lens used.
Recording the Focal Length
In portable mode, the focal length of electronic/digital lenses is automatically recorded in the image EXIF
data.
Some lens types, such as manual lenses, cannot be detected by the camera back. If a lens is detectable,
the focal length is displayed in the EXIF information on the Info panel (to access, tap the
info
button in
Shoot
view). Check that the lens you are using is detectable by the camera back by examining the EXIF
info of an existing image captured with this lens. If the lens is undetectable, manually enter the focal length
as a numeric value to be recorded to the EXIF data
1. On the camera back, in the
Camera
view camera settings menu, select
Lens
.
2. Using the keypad, enter the focal length of the lens you are using.
3. Tap
OK
.
The value you entered is recorded in the EXIF data.
Note:
Whenever a manual lens is attached, all images have this value written to the EXIF field.
Whenever a electronic/digital lens is attached, this value is ignored, and the automatically detected
focal length is used.
