Hi there,

I have some raw files from my Fuji X100T that for some reason have the tele converter lens settings embedded even though I don't have any of the conversion lenses and I'm pretty sure I didn't turn on the setting myself. I have since turned that setting off but my question is how can I remove this on the photos I've already taken? Lightroom automatically applies distortion correction for the tele converter lens which actually adds a lot of distortion to images shot without the lens and there's no way to turn it off. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe I am completely wrong, miss something, or don't understand it, but

- when I shoot the same scene with my X100T

- once with "CONVERSION LENS" set to "OFF"

- once with "CONVERSION LENS" set to "TELE", but NOT using a conversion length at all

then I see already in the camera a difference in the both images.

So how would modifying the exif data change anything in here at all?

The in-camera correction that you’re seeing is only applied to the jpeg, the RAW gets a metadata tag and the necessary correction data for an external editor convertor to make the corrections to the RAW. Lightroom applies these corrections automatically (and gives you no way to defeat them). If the metadata is wrong, the corrections are wrong. Stripping (or modifying) the metadata will allow you to avoid (or correct) this.

Thank you very much for the explanation, I think I got it.

I also checked my test images with Fast Raw Viewer and in there I do not see the differences!
