Vignetting overcorrection on SEL24F18Z

DxO PhotoLab
1

Hi there. I’m using DxO PhotoLab to denoise and do optical corrections. Normally things are working great, but there seems to be some kind of problem with one particular lens of mine.

  • [Lens - SEL24F18Z]
  • Camera - A6600
  • Optics module ID - C66942a
  • DxO PhotoLab Version: 5.2

When I run images from this device through DxO PhotoLab, I get a pretty extreme vignetting overcorrection. I am not seeing this behavior with any of my other lenses. I will paste an example below.

  • OOC JPEG:

  • As rendered by DxO with DxO Standard profile:

  • As rendered by Lightroom Classic with “camera settings” preset:

  • As rendered by DxO PL with vignetting set to 50%

Am I right in thinking that this optics module is busted? If so, is there a way for me to fix it on my side?

Hi and welcome! I notice that the out-of-camera jpeg is a different image than the RAW tests show. Also, I don’t think there’s enough info here to rule out other settings such as Smart Lighting. Best to open a support ticket at support.dxo.com and upload a couple of test RAW files using upload.dxo.com. Then DxO can provide a definitive evaluation of the optics module and the standard preset.

Thank you Egregius. Yes I realized my error just after I posted, but the site wouldn’t let me edit my post since it was “pending”. I will make some more pictures with this lens tonight and try running them through DxO.
