It is something real (junk?) in the raw file (not exclusive to Panasonic, some other formats can have it as well, hence the crop definition). It is not a RawSpeed âbugâ per se (until someone figures out how to deal w/ those digital zoom files, which seems to be affecting some Panasonics as far as known). You get the same âjunkâ if you read w/ e.g. LibRawâs unprocessed_raw tool⊠To me it looks like some data repetition from aliased pixel column addresses on the same line when reading out the sensor which needs to have a rounded up number of transfers in a burst modeâŠ
My Canon G16 sometimes shows more on the edge of the frame which is slightly darker than the rest of the image. I just presume DT shows more of the sensor than other programs and have designed a custom crop pre-set for when this happens.
I donât know about other programs, but you can get the Lens correction module to show you a bit of extra (just use the scale slider). This is occasionally useful for me when I find that I missed something on the edge when composing, especially when combined with another geometry.
