Q: Raw Update 4.08 removes distortion correction for Sony RX100 files?

There is a quite simple way to fix that (unless Apple releases a good 4.09 update) mentioned above, and which worked for me on both Lion et Mountain Lion :

1) download the 4.07 update from Apple's web site.

2) go to System / Library / Coreservices and delete "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle"

3) install 4.07 update (installer won't work if the two files mentioned above are not put to trash)

4) restart computer

5) Aperture uses 4.07 Raw converter and the 4.07 is in the System Library Coreservices folder.

Yet one more user with the same problem here, looking forward to a fix in 4.09 ASAP pls.

Tthe downgrade instructions provided by Alexis117 work for me. Thanks!

Don't tell us; there's nothing we can do about it.

Use Aperture's "submit feedback."

I use Aperture 3.4.5, OS 10.8.4.  I just downloaded the recent update 4.08  for camera raw files for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II. Now when I open any of the pictures taken by that camera a spherical fisheye distortion is introduced to each picture. I cannot remove by reverting to original. No other pictures taken by any other camera has the distortion introduced.

The solution posted by alexis117 worked perfectly. All the pictures were back to normal when I restarted Aperture.  Thank you!!  The 4.08 camera raw update is completely unacceptable for the Sony cybershot DSC RX100 camera.

If downgrading to 4.07 is not an option for you, as mentionned earlier by Kirby Krieger another solution is to use "Sony® Image Data Converter (version 4.2.02)". Download it for free from:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=DSCRX100&upd_id=8263&os_group_ id=3

Then use it to develop the  RAW pictures to JPG or TIFF files, that you then import into Aperture.

Fantastic! Thanks for the solution, downgraded my RAW functionality here and everything went right back to normal...a lifesaver. RX100 users rejoice!

Thank you so much for this post. Having just returned from Bolgna and Venice with 500+ shots on my RX100 I was dismayed when working through them in iPhoto to find some where horribly fish-eyed. My first thought was that there was a problem with the camera.

Regarding the alexis117's OP the going back to 4.0.7 solved the problem for me and for anyone else interested, here is the link for the 4.0.7 upgrade

Thanks!

I'm happy to announce that we can all upgrade to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.09 released today via Apple Software Update, which "Restores lens correction to Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 images"!

This problem seems to have re-appeared with the 5.02 raw update:

Thanks for posting. Just checked and your're right, it's back. I followed the solution above by alexis117 and downgraded to 5.01 and everthing is back to normal. I guess this will finally teach me not to have auto-updates on!

Thank you - reverting to 5.01 as per alexis117's instructions worked.

You can still download '5.01' from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1706
