Nikon Rumors http://www.nikonrumors.com just announced a lens distortion control data update for many Nikon cameras from D90-D7000 and new D4, D800 and D800e. I went on Nikon USA and downloaded update and loaded it on my D7000 and it went on in about 1 second. Just thought some of you may want to know.

Thanks. I have downloaded it but not yet started to deploy. It seems to create a new firmware bank labelled L. I cannot find any documentation about what is really going on though. Ed

I thought this was only a feature of playback mode, where you want to do in-camera editing? Does it correct lens distortion in the captured files?

But not sure about the editing part...which suggests its a post process step?? Why would you NOT allow auto correction and opt to do it manually afterwards? I'm a bit puzzled.

I dug out the D7000 manual and in the shooting menu there is an entry Auto Distortion Contol with option on or off. Best I can find out is it works for jpeg automatically and for NEF only when using ViewNX or Capture NX2. Says jpeg auto corrected for linear distortion. I would think this was in camera? Not sure how this plays in with the new data update firmware.

I think if the camera supports the feature then by reading the EXIF then CNX2 can provide auto correction for the supported lenses. What I dont understand is why this isnt a purely post processing item irrespective of the camera used unless there is some in-camera processing occuring.

Ed said the D800e did not have a L field in the firmware list. My D7000 had an L field and I think version 1.02 before installing the update which is 1.06. I am getting more confused the more I think about it.
