  1. Thanks for the update Hayo, but how useful is this? If you process with Lightroom, does Lightroom do anything with this?

    1. Hi Gerphil,

      the Distortion Control Data is only used in-camera (when you have e.g., Auto Distortion Control turned on), and applies to JPG and TIFF files generated by the camera, as well as the embedded preview in NEF files.

      The information is ignored by non-Nikon software, so if you don't shoot JPG/TIFF, there is no real point in applying this update other than for the embedded previews.
