# isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionEnabled

A Boolean value that indicates whether the photo render pipeline can perform content-aware distortion correction.

```
var isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

You can set this value to true only if [`isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionSupported`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionSupported) returns true.

Applying distortion correction to preserve natural-looking content may result in a small change in the field of view compared to what you see in [`AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer). The amount lost or gained is content specific and varies from photo to photo.

Enabling this property requires a lengthy reconfiguration of the capture render pipeline, so set this property to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> before calling [`startRunning()`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession/startRunning()) on the capture session.
