Panasonic LUMIX L10 and Sigma primes join latest DxO Modules update

This June, DxO adds another 965 new DxO Modules, bringing its industry-leading database of precisely calibrated camera and lens profiles to more than 114,000 combinations.

This latest update includes support for the highly anticipated Panasonic LUMIX L10, a camera already exceeding pre-order expectations, alongside a selection of standout optics from Sigma’s newest generation of fast primes. Highlights include the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II Art, launched earlier this spring and designed to deliver exceptional sharpness and rendering for professional photographers; the Sigma 15mm F1.4 DC C, a bright ultra-wide prime built for astrophotography and creative wide-angle work; and the Sigma 200mm F2 DG S, bringing premium telephoto performance to DxO’s growing range of supported high-end optics. Additional support arrives for the Sony FX2, Sony DSC-HX95 / HX99, and the Laowa AF 200mm F2 FE.

As always, DxO Modules are built using rigorous laboratory testing, delivering precise corrections that enhance sharpness, reduce distortion, and optimize overall image quality.

What is a DxO Module?

A DxO Module is an advanced mathematical model of unparalleled precision, meticulously crafted to capture the unique image quality characteristics of a specific camera and lens combination.

It encompasses “the truth” of the camera and lens combination. It refers to every physical characteristic of a particular sensor (noise, color response, etc) and of a particular lens (sharpness uniformity, distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations, etc), all carefully measured in laboratory conditions.

Integrated seamlessly into DxO PhotoLab, PureRAW, ViewPoint, and FilmPack, DxO Modules unlock the full potential of your equipment.
