DESCRIPTION

16       Lensfun is a library that corrects flaws in photographic images  intro‐
17       duced  by  the lens.  It also contains a comprehensive database of cam‐
18       eras and lenses together with their characteristics to be able to apply
19       automatic  corrections  of images taken with these devices.  Lensfun is
20       used by darktable, digiKam, rawstudio, GimpLensfun, UFRaw, and others.
21
22       Lensfun contains information about lens mounts of cameras and available
23       mounts  for  lens  models.  This way, the calling application can offer
24       the user a list with lenses that fit on their camera in order  to  pick
25       one.   Otherwise,  you  would  see  all lenses every time.  This can be
26       pretty overwhelming.
27
28       But if you bought an adapter for another mount system, you  would  want
29       to  see  lenses  of  that mount system listed for your camera.  So, you
30       must tell Lensfun somehow that you own the adapter.  You can do  so  by
31       calling lensfun-add-adapter.
32
33       The  easiest  way  to  use  it is to call it with no parameters.  lens‐
34       fun-add-adapter will then enter an interactive mode.  First you have to
35       enter  your  camera model.  lensfun-add-adapter will use that to deter‐
36       mine the destination mount.  In particular,  the  extended  lens  lists
37       will  show  up  for  every camera with that mount, not just the one you
38       entered.  Then, you have to select the mount of the lenses you can  now
39       put on your camera, using the adapter.  That's it.
40
41       With  the options --maker, --model, and --mount, you can avoid interac‐
42       tive mode by passing the nevcessary data explicitly.  If you pass  only
43       maker/model  or  only mount, lensfun-add-adapter will enter interactive
44       mode only for the missing data.
45
46       You can also use lensfun-add-adapter to reset your  adapter  configura‐
47       tion.  Call it with the --help paremeter to see all functions.

OPTIONS

50       --maker MAKER --model MODEL
51              The  exact  maker  and  model  of  the camera the mount of which
52              should be made compatible.  You must provide these options  only
53              in combination rather than only one of them.
54
55       --mount MOUNT
56              The  exact  name  of the mount of the lenses that should be made
57              compatible.
58
59       --remove-local-mount-config
60              Resets the local mount configuration, i.e. the additional  mount
61              compatibilities that were created by this program.  Effectively,
62              it removes the file _mount.xml from the local  Lensfun  database
63              of the current user.
64

FILES

66       ~/.local/share/lensfun/_mounts.xml
67              File with all mount compatibilities that were added by this pro‐
68              gram.
