Hi,

since I have some remaining hope that my preordered BMPCC will arrive someday, I have a question in advance:

Some µFT lenses are corrected via software in the camera itself or in Photoshop CameraRaw.

Does the BMPCC apply the correction (distortion, vignetting, cromatic aberration) as well? Or will I get the objektiv's "pure performance" which could be bad in some cases?

As discussed in this forum a couple of times: the PMPCC doesn't unwarp the images like olympus/panasonic mft-cameras do. But due to its high crop factor the distortions are not as severe as seen in lens reviews.

If adobe camera raw knows your lens then it's simple.
Use Lightroom instead of Resolve Light. It doesn't require a special graphics card and works well as long as you don't want to interpolate any values over time.

Maybe thats a solution. But at the moment camera raw don't know the lens. But - I assume - gets the correction data in the Raw-Image-File from the camera.

The mirrorless pana/oly cameras have lots more of raw pixels to work with when they do the image correction, so don't expect the same (almost invisible) correction quality when you work with the native 1080 footage of your Pocket CC.
