How do you prevent distortion in photography?
At least try to avoid shooting them with an extreme wide-angle lens. Back up if you need to get more of the subject into the image. Keep any straight lines in the image as close to the center of the lens as possible. There will be less distortion toward the middle than there is on the edge.
Do cameras distort images?
The answer is yes, the phone cameras do distort the way our face looks. You do look a little different in real life than how you happen to appear on the camera of your phone. Our nose, for example, usually looks a lot bigger when we take selfies because the camera is placed too close to our face.
How do I fix a distorted image?
Go to the Develop module -> Lens Corrections tab. There is a slider control under the Distortion section that allows the user to adjust how much distortion to correct. Moving the slider to the left corrects the pincushion distortion, while moving to the slider toward the right corrects barrel distortion.
Does focal length cause distortion?
Perspective Distortion: Focal Length / Subject Distance Fact: a rectilinear lens, regardless of its focal length, will not distort objects in the frame, beyond the aforementioned lens distortions. A curvilinear lens will distort the image.
What causes image distortion?
While optical distortion is caused by the optical design of lenses (and is therefore often called “lens distortion”), perspective distortion is caused by the position of the camera relative to the subject or by the position of the subject within the image frame.
How can you tell if an image is distorted?

Should I correct lens distortion?
The good news is it’s usually fixable in post processing and can even be desirable! Lens distortion is an important factor to be aware of in the photography world. It can make or break our images as artists, depending on the look and feel we are trying to achieve.
Can you correct lens distortion?
You can change your position and shoot from a spot further away from your subject with the same lens. PC-E lenses have advanced optics, which reduce distortion on edges, and you can shift and tilt them to some extent. Shifting helps fix some of the perspective distortion depending on how much shift is needed.
