Lens correction on Sony A7s, LR 5.6

I am using a Sony A7s and LR 5.6 on my Mac......I see from the Lens Correction box in the Development module, that when I enable profile correction, click on Sony I only get the choice of one lens showing up (not one that I have either). Back in the Library module the Sony camera shows up correctly in the metadata box and the focal length of the lens.
I realise that the 7s is fairly new and lenses in short supply but the lenses that I actually have DO show up on Adobe's list of supported Sony lenses.
Any suggestions please...? Thanks

So disregard all previous.....! The lens correction profiles have suddenly reappeared within the LR develop module with a choice of Sony cameras, basic, E and FE plus the lenses....absolutely no idea why.

DNG Conversion Of Sony ARW Not Carrying Over In Camera Lens Corrections

One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?

This is one of those confusing issues where the way Sony describes the feature makes it sound as though it's part of the ARW format, and the way Adobe describe ACR and DNG makes it sound like this would be one of those manufacturer specific details that DNG is supposed to convert into a the Adobe format.
Yes, that might be so. It's similar with the manual of my Nikon D600. Nowhere does it say explicitly that all these adjustments (including lens correction, Active D-Lighting, etc) work only for the JPGs. And it cannot be otherwise.
A Raw image is not defined yet, not written in pixels yet, heck it is not even an image.
The Raw image is only affected by the exposure, that's pretty much the only thing. Even White Balance is nothing but a metadata tag that - luckily - is read by Lr.
A DNG is Adobe's answer to the various Raw formats. But it is designed to behave like a Raw image. Therefore you cannot expect that camera settings that affect JPGs only carry over to DNGs.

There are so many features on cameras that are only supported with JPG output that it almost makes it not wroth bothering with RAW, as by the time you get to the end of the process, with all the extra steps and work involved in handling RAW, you pretty much wind up with something that looks like a JPG anyway, and you had to give up using some of the camera's features to use RAW.
This shows that you don't understand what Raw is and what its advantages over JPG are.
I would recommend that you educate yourself about the advantages of Raw. Your photography would benefit from this, believe me.
Google "Why should I shot Raw?" and you will find lots of good webpages.
Finally, Raw shooting is much simpler than shooting JPGs where you always have to fiddle with the virtual 100s of different settings for JPGs.
What do you have Lr for? In Lr you can adjust your Raw image by looking at it on a large calibrated monitor, whereas for the settings in your camera you have to rely on a 3" monitor - at best.
Make your life simpler and your photography better: Shoot Raw.

Sony FE 28-70mm in camera + Lightroom lens correction = double correction or overcorrection?

Hello,
I have a Sony A7 with Sony FE 28-70mm kit lens. On the Sony A7, if i select "Shading Compensation" in the camera menu, the camera corrects vignetting in the saved raw file. I have experimented by taking two raw photos, with in camera Shading Compensation turned on and off. I then imported the photos into Lightroom. I then tried turning lens compensation (vignetting) on and off in Lightroom. This confuses me. In the first image (In camera ON and Lightroom correction ON) it looks like vignetting is completely gone. With in camera ON and Lightroom lens correction OFF, there is still clearly remaining vignetting. With in camera OFF and Lightroom ON there is also clearly remaining vignetting
Can someone tell me what the recommended course of action is? Is the Sony in-camera lens correction worse or better than Lightroom? Neither the in-camera nor Lightroom's correction will correct vignetting completely on their own. Does that mean that the Lightroom correction is supposed to be used in tandem with the in camera correction to achieve full vignetting correction? There is lacking information/documentation of this feature, I have looked at both Sony A7 help guide and Adobes documentation about lens correction without finding any info about this situation.
Thank you.

"Shading Compensation" is probably saved as metadata tag in the raw file but the raw file data is not corrected. This metadata is probably used in the included Sony software to automatically correct the raw for "Shading Compensation" but Lightroom probably does NOT use this data. You will hopefully get a reply from a Sony user.

LR5.4: Why does automatic lens correction profile no longer work for SONY NEX-5N?

Starting in LR5.4, if I attempt to apply automatic lens profile corrections, LR applies a profile for a Hasselblad LF 18-55 camera lens instead.
Formerly, in LR 5.3, the 'make' in the lens profile pane automatially matched the EXIF 'make' of the NEX-5N; namely, "Sony", and the correct lens profile was applied automatically.
In LR5.4, I must now manually select make = "Sony E" to appy a "setup=custom" profile before LR applies the correct lens profile. The minute I set 'make=Sony E', LR applies a profile that matches the lens in use: either the "Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-F5.6 OSS", the "Sony E 16mm F2.8 OSS" lens or the "Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS" lens that I use.
Another issue: I am not certain of this, but I swear the LR5.4 lens profile correction now *increases* pin-cushion image distortion, whereas it worked beautifully in LR5.3. (I should take a photograph of a grid to see if my impression is correct.) Are the lens profile corrections applied to a camera with EXIF make="Sony E" different from those applied to an EXIF make="Sony" (i.e., the NEX-5N)? If so, this is a shame, for it means LR no longer fully supports the NEX-5N.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
(I believe LR5.4 may have picked up on recent product line changes announced by SONY, wherein NEX will be marketed as Sony Alpha E cameras, and I imagine they will be changing the EXIF 'make' of new cameras to reflect this. However, that won't be changing the EXIF make of my NEX-5N.)

Why is that so and how can I get the proper lens profile automatically if the lens does have its own Adobe profile loaded?
Frustrated ...
Pick the correct lens manually then choose 'Save New Lens Profile Defaults' from Setup drop down menu. Lr should remember the lens and use it as the default in future. See screenshot below

RAW from my Sony NEX-5R doesn't work - the lens correction at 16mm doesn't exist

Hi guys,
i have a big problem with the RAW's of my Sony NEX-5R. When i take a picture with my Kit-Lens at 16mm it looks so bad an their is no lens correction. I tried serval thinks. Reinstalled Aperture; create a new libary, etc. but nothing works. I don't want so switsh to an other program, so maybe somebody could help me.
Here is a example:

I had hopes with this : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5358 since it was last updated quite recently (17th of Jan 2014)
But unfortunately, this is not true.
My pictures taken with my NEX-6 and the 16-50mm lens are still distorted, even though I updated all I could, and I always imported my RAW pictures directly from my camera to Aperture...
I hope an update will fix this quite soon...

Lens correction and my Sony DSLR-A700

Lightroom 3 doesn't recognize my camera or my Sigma
70mm Macro. My other lens isn't imcluded yet
but my Sigma lens and camera is. Why doesn't Ligtroom recognize them? Is it me or Lightroom?

There was a similar post a day or so back for this lens. I suspect your problem is the same as the previous poster - lens ID isn't being picked up or isn't matching with current lens set.
You already know that the lens is supported so you can go to the Lens Correction panel and select it from the list under Sigma then from Setup pop-up choose Save New Lens Profile Defaults. This proile should be automatically selected the next time you activate the profile for this lens.

LR 4.3 lens corrections issue (bug?)

Hello,
I'm having trouble with LR 4.3 lens corrections panel, that I didn't have with LR 4.2.
I'm running LR 64bit on Windows 7 Ultimate. Camera is Pentax K5.
This is what the lens corrections panel looks like after import in LR 4.2. I did setup the "Enable Profile Corrections" as default for my camera, so everytime I import photo's this is autmatically checked.
Opening the same photo in the same catalog with LR 4.3 this is what I get:
Notice "Setup" has changed to "Custom" and Lens Profile says None.
Changing Setup to Default again, Make and Model display the correct information, but Profile says None.
Clicking on the Profile arrows gives me the correct lens profile but...
... selecting that profile turns everything back off and setup is changed to Custom again.
Now setting Setup to Default makes no difference! Lens Profile displays None but...
... selecting Auto gives me the right Make and Model!!
And finally, when I leave the image with settings as here above, go the another photo and change the lens corrections, and then go back to the initial image, everything's gone again!!!
As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious bug, unless I'm missing something obvious.
Did anyone have this same problem?
I've downgraded to LR 4.2 again, and everything is back to normal.
Regards,
Peter

No, that's not it either. Lens Corrections appears in the right panel, between "Detail" and "Effects".
It's just that when I click on the "make" under the Lens profile, all I get is Nikon and Sony (and not the other brands I used to see) and under model there is only one lens if I remember correctly...
This is frustrating, and it will be more so if it turns out that I did something silly!!
thanks

Lens (Tamron 18-270) not available in Lens correction menu

Hi all,
I only see some lenses to pick from in the lens correction menu. According to a list on the Adobe website, my lens (Tamron 18-270) should be included, but it is not.
I am using Lightroom 5 on a Win PC and a Sony Alpha 58 camera. Photos made as RAW.
Any idea where I can find or activate the lens?
Could it be, that the Sony camera does not write the lens information in the EXIF file so that Lightroom doesn`t know which lens I used? But if so, why can I pick several from different companies (Canon, ...) but not the one from Tamron?
Best regards,
Mick

There are 5 18-270 Tamron lenses listed if you set the Make to Tamron and scroll up in the list to the top using the arrow at the top left of the list.
There is only one Tamron lens listed, not an 18-270, if you have a non-raw file selected.
Here is what I see at the top of the Tamron list and I just chose one of the 5 arbitrarily. I have no idea which of them is right, if any, for your Sony:

Lens correction Lightroom vs DxO Viewpoint

Does anyone know if Lightroom's lens correction is any better than that of Viewpoint 2 (or 2.5)? I am trying to decide whether I need Viewpoint to do lens correction on my Sony a5100 with the 16-50 kit lens. The lens produces a lot of barreling distortion especially at wide angle. Is viewpoint necessary or will the lens correction in Lightroom 5.7 do the job adequately. Both software programs support the camera and lens combination. Thanks.

It's best to download Lightroom and try it for yourself.
You can use it free for 30 days from the date of download.

Vignette Correction + Lens Correction in Camera Raw / Lightroom

Ok i merge 2 requests for both camera raw and lighroom...
-> Vignette Specific Correction: Using preset for Lenses like Canon DPP Does for Peripherical Illuminance Correction, the vignette tool in lighroom is good but can't adapt to a variable vignette profile of each lens...
+ Ability to user to add them using a png 24 bit or similiar for Lenses not present on the DB (think using old lens, with adaptors, old zeiss without automatic controls that obviously will be not profiled by Canon, Nikon, Sony.. for their bodies)
-> Lens Correction based on Preset... + exif reading like in photoshop cs5 + manual adjustments
thank you

So you use Photomatix to create a 32-bit HDR file and then tone that 32-bit file in ACR? Are the Photomatix 32-bit files that much different than the PS-CC 32-bit files? The Photomatix 32-to-16-bit conversion is quite a bit different and perhaps preferable, but I didn’t realize the 32-bit result file is also that much different. It’s been a while since I’ve tried 32-bit HDRs and even longer since I’ve tried them in Photomatix so things may have changed or I’ve forgotten.
If you are using Photomatix, then you are not using an Adobe raw conversion at all, so Adobe settings and raw lens profiles are not seen and used at the initial raw-conversion stage in Photomatix.
The choices would seem to be that you can use Adobe products to create 16-bit TIFs as an input to Photomatix, or hack an Adobe raw lens profile to be used with non-raw files in ACR, or do your lens profile corrections after you’ve saved your 32-bit HDR image back as a 16-bit one and use the lens corrections area in Photoshop if that is still possible, nowadays.

Lens correction in Lightroom not sending to photoshop when making a panorama

I cannot seem to find anyone else on the forums with this problem....
I have set the lens correction in Lightroom which does a beautiful job of removing vingetting and lens distortions.
However, when I go to "edit in" "Merge as panorama in photoshop", it does not carry forward the lens corection. The vingetting and all is visible which creates a horrible photoshop panorama.
I do not want to use photoshop's correction, I want to preserve the lightroom lens correction.
Am I missing something?
Any ideas?

Thanks! All of my shots for this current interior shoot are panoramic. At a halt until I can resolve this.

Lens profile for Sony A900 carl zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom?

Is there a lens profile for the Sony A900 Carl Zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom lens in Photoshop CS5 camera RAW? I have the latest update, the Sony is an old camera now and the CZ zoom is similarly old, beautiful thing to use but doesnt seem to be supported in camera RAW profiles or lens correction filter in CS5. I'm about to use RAW to process around 10 sets of 5 exposures to create files for HDR and want to syncronise the correction to each group of images before I begin to process them, after HDR process I intend to create a pano out of them so its imporrtant to get the lens correction done right at the start and applied identically to each image. Thing is that if I look in the Sony profile theres only a few lenses but no Carl Zeiss, if I look in Carl Zeiss it doesnt list the Sonnar 24 - 70.
Any solutions?

It appears a lens profile is available for this lens using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. The profile does not have to be created with your camera model, just a model with the same crop factor or smaller camera sensor. This one is for a 1.5 crop factor APS-C sensor size.
The 24-70mm is available as well for a 1.0 Crop camera, which will also work with a 1.5 crop body.

Lens Correction Profile

Hi
I have CS6 on OSX Yosemite and have the latest camera RAW update.
However, when I open a photo taken on a Fuji X10 in RAW, there is no Fuji option under lens correction. How do I get it to appear?
Also, I have a Sony Alpha 6000 with 16mm-70mm lens. Does anyone know when this will be supported, as it's not currently listed when I select the lens correction.
Thanks.

I use windows and do not own a Fuji Camera or Lens. Adobe Camera RAW install as far as I see no Camera profiles for Fuji cameras and just a few Lens Profiles for Fuji lens. Here is what I see on my Windows system. I think you will need to search the web for Fuji camera and lens profiles.

How to import AVCHD from Sony A7S to Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 7

Hi, I'm a comparative newbie who just needs to edit some training videos shot on Sony A7S.
The adobe help documents suggest that PP CC 2014 can import .MTS files in AVCHD 25p format, but however I approach this it seems to come back with 'unsupported file' error.
I've tried importing direct from camera over wifi, downloading files to hard drive and then importing from there, downloading entire folders to hard drive and then importing from there... But nothing seems to work.
When I search online I get lots of seeming 'spam' about a variety of converters, is this what I am compelled to do?
I guess I'm getting something really simple wrong, I'd appreciate it if someone kind can tell me the error of my ways!

Thanks Neil, that's a great help.
Just to clarify...
I'm currently accessing the camera through wifi, so it shows up in my windows explorer 'window' on the left hand side as an icon under 'Computer'.
When I double click that icon, I get a 'storage device' icon in the main window.
The recommended approach would be to drag and drop the entire contents of the storage device onto a folder on my hard drive - is that correctly understood?
Then I should access content through media browser window, NOT 'import' under file?
