There is some fish-eye-like distortion at 24mm, that's why there are black corners in RAW. But it gets "de-fished" by the camera processor. And it should be corrected by the RAW software. My software does it automatically and the images at 24mm have good sharpness, resolution, no distortion.

it is not fish eye like (fish eyes are whether 180 degrees diagonal or 180 degrees border to border) , but simply a high distortion with lens not covering the entire sensor, which means that after correction, resolution is lost!

please check imaging resource review, it is very clear about the issue, the difference between center and corners is just huge, a smartphone will have better resolution in corners!
