Photos and videos can be corrected. According to the manufacturer, DEFISHR’s camera analysis tool detects the distortion characteristics of camera recordings fully automatically during an analysis process. Once analysed, according to proDAD , these findings are stored in a profile. To do this, the user merely has to film a displayed checkerboard for a few seconds and analyse it. This makes it possible to create a custom profile for the user’s own camera or lens.
