A while ago, DPL had problems with finding the right modules (with a new/changed) method and the fact that some third party lenses use lens IDs that are already taken by some other lens or maker does not make that task easier.
Some of the posts referring to that issue are these:
- DPL 5 stopped processing files with certain body/lens combo
- Incorrect lens identification since 6.5 update
- PL7 takes wrong optical module and refuses correction
As we can see, lens recognition and module selection have come up as issues for a while now. DxO is trying hard to provide reliable automatic recognition…and adding manual override would make us users happy.
