“Vignetting” is a drop in brightness at the edges of a
photograph. Vignette control reduces vignetting for type G, E,
and D lenses (PC lenses excluded). Its effects vary from lens to
lens and are most noticeable at maximum aperture. Choose
from High, Normal, Low, and Off.
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.

Depending on the scene, shooting conditions, and type of lens, JPEG
images may exhibit noise (fog) or variations in peripheral brightness,
while custom Picture Controls and preset Picture Controls that have
been modified from default settings may not produce the desired
effect. Take test shots and view the results in the monitor. Vignette
control does not apply to movies or multiple exposures.
