DxO to release 351 new Optics Modules, providing superb corrections for a selection of Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Sigma prime lenses

DxO Optics Modules offer a level of corrections to camera equipment that remains unmatched, giving fantastic results when combating lens softness and other imperfections. From March 8, more than 81,000 lens and camera combinations will be covered, including two popular Nikon Z lenses: the 17-28mm F2.8 and the 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 VR S.

Paris (France): DxO Labs, the photo editing software company that has pioneered lens and camera corrections, today announces its latest Optics Modules. The release on March 8 of 351 new Optics Modules features support for lenses from Nikon, Canon, and Sigma, and a selection of cameras from Panasonic.

DxO Optics Modules are tailor-made corrections created in a purpose-built laboratory, giving photographers premium profiles across the complete range of DxO software. The modules will be available from March 8 for users of DxO FilmPack, DxO ViewPoint, and in Nik Collection as part of Nik Perspective Efex. The modules will be available shortly afterward for users of DxO PhotoLab and DxO PureRAW.

These profiles exceed those of other software manufacturers and deliver significantly better images, giving results regardless of whether photographers shoot on the most expensive gear or on entry-level equipment. DxO Optics Modules ensure the true quality of a photographer’s camera and lens combination.

Lens softness corrections that have an extra level of sophistication
Working in its purpose-built laboratory, DxO’s methods of correcting lens softness are unique. Most approaches apply a global level of sharpening across the entire framing, ignoring the fact that most lenses become softer towards the periphery. By contrast, DxO’s technicians measure lens softness across different parts of the lens and use the resulting data to create profiles that are far more sophisticated.

As a result, photographers using DxO software achieve images that are sharpened to perfection across the frame, not just in the center.

More image area thanks to advanced distortion control
Lenses are tested in the lab to understand any unwanted curvature. Typically, wide-angle lenses display barrel distortion, while telephoto lenses exhibit pincushion distortion. Highly detailed measurements allow for extremely precise corrections, and DxO Optics Modules can even deliver a larger area as a result of not having to make the clumsy cropping exhibited in competing software.

Chromatic aberrations are meticulously eliminated
The longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations seen in most lenses vary depending on the focal length being used and the distance to the subject. DxO’s profiles account for these factors allowing Optics Modules to perform supremely accurate corrections.

Intelligent vignetting removal
Not only do DxO’s vignetting corrections compensate for exposure levels without over- exposing the edge of the image, but when brightening darkened areas, they do not shift colors or introduce noise.

The benefits of a truly scientific approach
DxO Optics Modules are created for specific camera and lens combinations which allows the profiles to account for slight shifts in performance when certain gear is paired together. No other software on the market offers this level of detail.

Latest DxO Optics Modules
The latest DxO Optics Modules update will be available from March 8 for DxO ViewPoint, DxO FilmPack, and Nik Perspective Efex, and slightly later for DxO PhotoLab and DxO PureRAW. It includes the following cameras and lenses, each optimized for specific camera and lens combinations:
