Contrary to the common believe that in-camera
corrections are applied to JPEGs but not to the RAW file, in-camera lens
correction in the EOS-1D X Mark II is applied to RAWs only. See
https://snapshot.canon-asia.com/article/en/eos-5d-mark-iv-lens-aberration-correctiona-close-up-look-part-1
Can you quote that part where it says what you think it says?
I don't see anything there about modifying the raw files.
the article is about in-camera lens correction. Lens corrections are
stored in the image data, it's not about storing meta data for lens
correction in post processing. Do not be confused by the fact that
there is also a software tool provided by Canon that implements the same
kind of lens correction algorithms for post processing.
The term RAW file is not included explicitly in the article that I
mentioned. It is, however, highlighted that »The Digital Lens Optimizer
[...] made its debut as an in-camera feature on the EOS-1D X Mark II.
At that time, its effects could not be reflected in real time on JPEG
images.« I understand this statement as that the RAW file image data is
affected. The camera has a special hardware component to do the heavy
math. This would not be needed if just some meta data for lens
correction in post would be included into the RAW file.
Furthermore, another Canon article (see
https://snapshot.canon-asia.com/article/en/eos-1d-x-mark-ii-in-camera-lens-optimization-for-high-quality-images
) says
»The processing ability of the Dual DIGIC 6 + image processing engines
is what makes in-camera image processing possible. They are capable of
processing the vast amount of data that is yielded from the 20-megapixel
sensor and the continuous shooting speed of 16 fps at a high speed, and
achieve in-camera RAW image development and real-time aberration
correction. A dedicated IC has been developed and employed to enable the
incorporation of different aberration correction features during
in-camera RAW image.«
How would you understand »in-camera RAW image development«? It does
definitely not refer to the lens correction to the JPEG, because this
camera does not have such a feature.
According to
https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/35324/why-does-using-canons-digital-lens-optimizer-double-the-size-of-a-raw-file
in-camera lens correction in Canon cameras doubles the RAW file size,
because the processed image data is stored in addition to the
unprocessed RAW data.
