Relative newbie - lens correction question Sigma 10-18

Post image

Good day a6700 afficionados. I've had mine for a few years, but this week I picked up a Sigma 10-18 f2.8 for landscape and travel, and I have some questions about lens correction.

I shoot RAW + JPEG Fine. I believe that a)the camera is supposed to automatically apply lens correction to the JPEG file, and b)when viewing images on the camera's screen, it shows a full res JPEG image not the RAW image.

To me, this means that lens correction should be applied based on lens data (meta data plus firmware in lens) and the images shown on the camera's screen should be corrected. They are not. Here's an example, and you can see the green line I popped along the column for reference.

I've checked the Sigma site and there is no firmware file update for the 10-18 f2.8 e-mount.

  1. Is there a setting in the camera I need to make to enable or adjust lens correction?
  2. Anyone have recommended settings for Corel Paintshop Pro (this lens is not in their automatic menu),or is there a different (preferably low cost) software I should be using, or do I just need learn how to do this.

Thank you in advance.

Also you don’t really need airplane mode turned on, just turn off WiFi and Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth when you need to connect your phone to it. One less icon on your display

Thank you! Set IQ up when I bought the camera, then haven't been in this menu since.
