Vignette Reduction

4min

Introduction

One of the options made available in the lens calibration interface is a vignetting reduction tool.

This is intended to aid the user in overcoming issues with the calibration charts being detected when there is a large amount of vignetting present on the camera feed. This is typically seen when trying to calibrate anamorphic lenses, and is not typically an issue with most lens calibrations.

Using the vignette reduction tool is not normally required for the vast majority of lens calibrations

  • Automatic - Automatically reduces vignetting
