Breathing Compensation

You can set whether to perform breathing compensation for an E-mount lens using [Technical] – [Lens] – [Breathing Compensation] in the full 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]
    • When [Shooting] – [FPS] – [Fixed/Variable Select] is set to [Variable] and [FPS Select] is set to 66 fps or higher in the full menu
    • When [Project] – [Rec Format] – [Codec] is set to [X-OCN LT] / [X-OCN C1] / [X-OCN C2]
    • When [Project] – [Rec Format] – [Project Frame Rate] is set to 100 or 120
