Keystone correction and perspective control (Keystone Comp.)

Keystone distortion due to the influence of lens focal length and proximity to the subject can be corrected, or enhanced to exaggerate the effects of perspective. Keystone compensation can be previewed in the monitor during shooting. The corrected image is created from a smaller crop, slightly increasing the effective zoom ratio.

  • When you select [On], a keystone compensation icon is displayed and sliders appear on the monitor.

  1. Frame the shot and adjust keystone compensation while viewing your subject in the display.

    • Use FGHI to position the crop. The direction in which the crop can be moved is shown by the J icon.
    • To cancel changes, press and hold the OK button.
  2. To adjust aperture, shutter speed, and other shooting settings, press the INFO button.

    • The camera will return to the standard shooting display.

  3. Release the shutter.
  • Pictures may seem “grainy” depending on the amount of compensation performed. The amount of compensation also determines the amount the picture will be enlarged when cropped and whether the crop can be moved.
  • Depending on the amount of compensation, you may be unable to reposition the crop.
  • Depending on the amount of compensation performed, the selected AF target may not be visible in the display. If the AF target is outside the frame, its direction is indicated by a g, h, i, or j icon in the display.
  • Pictures taken with [RAW] for image quality are recorded in RAW + JPEG format.
  • The following cannot be used:

    • live composite photography, burst photography, bracketing, focus stacking, HDR, multiple exposure, live ND shooting, fisheye compensation, the digital teleconverter, movie recording, [C-AF], [C-AFJ], [C-AF+TR], and [C-AF+TRJ] AF modes, art filters, the custom self-timer, High Res Shot, live GND shooting, and subject detection.
  • Lens converters may not produce the desired results.
  • Be sure to provide [KImage Stabilizer] data for lenses that are not part of the Four Thirds or Micro Four Thirds family (“Reducing camera shake (KImage Stabilizer / nImage Stabilizer)”).

    Where applicable, keystone compensation will be performed using the focal length supplied for [KImage Stabilizer] or [Lens Info Settings].
