I took some test shots with a new lens that I bought for my Sony a7iii - the Samyang 35mm f/2.8.
When looking at the OOC JPG images I can see some quite strong chromatic aberration / color fringing in some images - even though automatic lens correction is enabled in the camera menu.
To my surprise, the color fringing is all but gone when I open the RAW file in Capture One - even though the "Chromatic Aberration" correction is not enabled in the Lens Correction tab. (Attached below are screenshots of 400% crops of the image.) In fact, when I do enable CA correction the color fringing gets slightly worse (but the difference is minute). The lens profile I am using in C1 is the "Manufacturer Profile".
So does Capture One apply chromatic aberration correction automatically, without having to enable it? If so, why does the option to enable it even exist when there is no way to turn it off?
