Setting Chromatic Aberration
Compensation (CAC)
The CAC function of the camera corrects the registration
error caused by the slight chromatic aberration that the
lens cannot compensate for. This minimizes color bleeding
into the surrounding image areas.
Lenses compatible with the CAC function whose CAC data
is registered in the camera will automatically start CAC
operation.
CAC data for the following lenses have been stored in the
camera as default values.
