Title: Canon 17-40mm Default Lens Profile for 5D MkIV...?
Post by: Dinarius on March 19, 2017, 08:46:56 am
I have just switched from an old Canon 1Ds Mklll to a 5D MkIV.

Using the same Canon 17-40mm lens, I am having to constantly make manual distortion adjustments - usually dragging the Distortion slider to 100% - to correct the default lens profile.

This is something I never had to do with the 1Ds Mklll.

Anyone else find this with the 5D MkIV?

Is there something else I should be doing to avoid having to do this?

Thanks.

D.

I find that Phase 1 doesn't seem to update it's lens/body profiles as quickly as Adobe attempts. You are most likely seeing exactly when you think you see -- C1 uses the only profile it has available for the 17-40, the one for the 1Ds3

Thanks for the reply.

How can you tell it's a 1Ds iii profile?

Thanks again.

Hi,

100% is 100% correction. You can set defaults for lenscorrections in C1.

You can try using a User Style (for imports) that sets the various tool preferences for the camera of choice.
