Select On to reduce barrel distortion when shooting with wide-
angle lenses and to reduce pin-cushion distortion when
shooting with long lenses (note that the edges of the area
visible in the viewfinder may be cropped out of the final
photograph, and that the time needed to process photographs
before recording begins may increase).
This option does not
apply to movies and is available only with type G, E, and D lenses (PC, fisheye, and
certain other lenses excluded); results are not guaranteed with other lenses. Before
using auto distortion control with DX lenses, select On for Auto DX crop or choose an
image area of DX (24×16) 1.5× (0 90); selecting other options may result in heavily
cropped photographs or in photographs with severe peripheral distortion.
The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduction.
Choose sRGB for general-purpose printing and display; Adobe RGB, with its broader
gamut of colors, is more suited to shots destined for professional publication and
commercial printing.
