Breathing Compensation

You can set whether to perform breathing compensation for the lens using [Technical] > [Lens] > [Breathing Compensation] in the camera menu.

This function corrects for the phenomenon in which changes in the angle of view occur as the focus position varies.

When breathing compensation is executed, a portion of the image is electronically cropped to maintain a constant angle of view so that the breathing phenomenon does not appear.

Note

  • When breathing compensation is enabled, the angle of view and image quality may change slightly.
  • Depending on the lens, it may not be possible to correct the change in the angle of view when breathing compensation is enabled.
  • Compensation is not possible when a lens that does not support breathing compensation is attached.
  • This function is set to Off (fixed) in the following cases.
    • When [Technical] > [Lens] > [Distortion Comp.] is set to [Off] in the camera menu
    • When [Shooting] > [S&Q Motion] > [Setting] is set to [On] in the web menu or camera menu
    • When [Project] > [Rec Format] > [Codec] is set to [RAW] or [RAW & XAVC-I] in the web menu or camera menu
