Affinity photo 2 does not automatically apply lens correction for the Canon RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens


Recommended Posts

Affinity photo 2 does not automatically apply lens correction for the Canon RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens. I was able to add the new lens via Github for my R8 mirrorless Canon camera, however, I need to manually select it every time as it is not recognized automatically. When looking at the metadata in Affinity photo 2 it identifies the camera correctly (Canon EOS R8) but for the lens is indicated as: 304.

Photo seems to have identified the Lens for you as simply "304", @Dan1967, and I see the same on my iPad. I can look into the Exif data later on Windows or macOS in more detail.

There's a setting in the Develop assistant that may help...

Out of interest what kind of animal is that on your couch?

Looking at the Exif data with ExifTool, the camera/lens seems to be reporting:

RF Lens Type                    : Unknown (304)
Lens Model                      : RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM

And as Affinity Photo is showing the lens type as 304, I think that it is being confused by that "RF Lens Type" info your camera/lens is reporting.

Thank you very much for looking into this Walt!

Latest info: I've tested pictures with both Canon EF and EF-S lenses and Affinity photo 2 automatically identified all of them. So the problem appears to be with the RF 24-50 specifically. 

Carl, here's a picture of that rex facing the camera. With a touch of Affinity photo2 of course :)

We've got a similar instance of this logged with a different RF Lens and is potentially caused by the missing space in the EXIF tripping up the auto detect, I'll log this with the developers.

Also that's a great cat.

The issue "Develop Persona- RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens profile is not auto detected in the lens panel" (REF: AF-4439) has been fixed by the developers in the latest beta build (2.6.0.2805). The fix is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Affinity Info Bot to notify us.
