Since activated lens distortion correction requires additional processing power, you should
consider disabling it in situations where it is not really necessary. You will only notice a
minimal distortion of the image, especially if you use the zoom. However, the maximum
frame rate for high resolution may be reduced (by 10 to 25 percent), which means you
have to choose between maximum distortion correction or maximum frame rate.
We recommend activating lens distortion correction, especially for applications with a low
frame rate and non-zoomed images (for example, when using as a webcam). However,
images can usually be corrected at a later point in time when searching recorded images.
This saves on processing power during recording and increases the frame rate. The more
you zoom in on the image, the less distorted the image should appear.
