Maybe I have too much time on my hands but this thought has come to me a couple of times. Would it be better to turn in camera distortion control off when you're going to make lens corrections in LR or does it make a difference? I can see it makes a difference while editing due to the change in view. I shoot in raw and jpeg. If the in camera distortion control only applies to the jpeg file and not the raw I get it. I only import in raw anyway but otherwise it would seem you would be applying distortion control (lens correction) twice or doubled. Pictures look fine perhaps I shouldn't worry about it. Like I said maybe I have too much time on my hands.

Using lens correction in-camera has a very noticeable negative effect on burst speed on my Canon 5D4, so I always apply it in post processing. Makes sense as the camera has to process every image before storing it.

The in-camera distortion is applied only to the JPEG. Applying to the RAW in LR is not a duplication.

Thank you CHG CANON. I suspected that was the case but wasn't absolutely sure.

Thank you TriX that makes sense. I dont shoot in burst mode often but do use it occasionally when shooting wildlife. I'll try turning it off next time.

If you shoot raw and use Lightroom, distortion control is irrelevant since Lr can apply a proper lens profile. If you shoot raw, also shooting jpeg is redundant at best, and if you tailor your exposure for a halfway decent jpeg, you may be forfeiting the benefits of RADR - raw accessible dynamic range. The only "benefit" to shooting both is to have jpegs available immediately after you shoot them. IMHO, this is not enough benefit to justify the downside.

Noted but I'll keep shooting both. What I shoot in isn't up for debate.
