p.1 #1 · OM-5 RAW vs JPEG?


I'm currently using an OM Systems OM-5 with two lenses:

- Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 X

- Olympus 30mm f3.5 Macro

The 12-35mm shows vignetting when at 12mm, wide open at f2.8. It goes away at f4.0 and f5.6. This happens while shooting JPEG's. I don't know if there is some computational correcting taking place in-camera or not. Will the vignetting be more visible if I shoot RAW?

My reason for asking is that on other cameras I have used, when you shoot RAW, all auto lens corrections don't work and I have to make any corrections in Photoshop. After all the corrections are done in Photoshop, it's like I wasted my time because the final edited image looks like the same image I would have gotten had I shot JOEG and used in-camera lens corrections.

Will shooting RAW accentuate any lens defects?

Magic in-camera lens corrections are not applied cross-brand. Only the very basic functions of AE and AF compatiblity are mandated by the MFT standard.

You can find great deals on the original OM 12-40mm Pro lens. They work great. Some of the Pana-Leica lenses don't seem to rely on as much digital correction. I've used the 8-18 and 50-200 with good results on Oly/OM bodies.

DxO Photolab 7 applies lens corrections automatically. Thus, normally, there is practically no wasted time. Give PL7 Elite a try; it should be free to try for as long as one month. Maybe this would work for you.

ACR in Photoshop will apply lens corrections automatically if you have USE PROFILE CORRECTIONS checked in the Optics panel.

I can't say for sure about JPEG's out of the camera as I never shoot them.
