Why are my pictures coming out distorted?
It is caused by the distortion from the camera’s lens. These are distortions that are caused by the angle of light and position of the lens when creating the image. Light bends in many ways due to the angle it hits the camera’s lens when composing the shot.
How does a wide angle lens effect an image?
On images shot with a wide-angle lens, perspective appears to be exaggerated: Nearby objects may look much bigger (and hence nearer) than they really are, and faraway objects look even smaller and further away. This effect also amplifies distances between objects, i.e., things look further away from each other.
Are wide-angle lenses good for portraits?
Wide angle lenses have a broader field of view than standard lenses, such as an 85mm lens. With wide lenses, like a 20mm or 24mm, you can capture more of the scene in front of you. Creating portraits using wide angle lenses can enhance perspective, but also distort proportions.
How do I fix a distorted image?
Correct lens distortion and adjust perspective
- Choose Filter > Lens Correction.
- Set the following options: Correction. Select the problems you want to fix. If corrections undesirably extend or contract the image beyond original dimensions, select Auto Scale Image.
How do you prevent camera lens distortion?
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.

Why wide-angle lens is used?
A wide-angle lens is a great tool for architectural photography. A wide-angle lens allows you to capture an entire building without being very far away, giving you the option to choose an interesting focal point to frame your shot rather than relying solely on the building to carry the shot.
