Lens Correction for PowerShot G5X

The Powershot G5X uses the same lens profile as the G7X. After importing an RAW-File fot this cam I found that the lens correction for this lens does not work at all. The lens is recognized and the profile is assingned. But the picture ist TOTALLY distorted. Even a manual correction does not work. There is not a single straight line and there is a lot of vignetting. I checked other raw developing tools and they seem to do a fine job.

Is there any Idea how to circumvent that. Even a workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks for commenting on that post.

  Are you using a G5X Mark II? There is a separate lens profile for that model at the bottom of the list.

  

  Is the program selecting the G7 X profile for you or none at all?

  No, it's the G5X, which uses the G7 lens. And it is selected by the program - as it should.

  

  But it's not a great difference, when I manually chose the G5X Mark II. It ist totally distorted anyway...

  That's all I've got Stephan, sorry. You can talk to tech support about this but the software uses the Lensfun database for its lens correction profiles and that's most likely how they will respond.
