# isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionSupported

A Boolean value that indicates whether the session’s current configuration supports content-aware distortion correction.

```
var isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Optical design and geometric distortion correction use a rectilinear model that preserves lines but not area, angles, or distance. The wider the field of view of a lens, the greater the areal distortion along the edges of images. Content-aware distortion correction intelligently adjusts its behavior to correct distortions based on the photo’s content. For example, the algorithm may not apply correction to faces in the center of a photo, but may apply it to faces near the photo’s edges.

Switching cameras or formats, or enabling depth data delivery, may result in a change to this property value. When the property changes from <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>, [`isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionEnabled`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/isContentAwareDistortionCorrectionEnabled) also reverts to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

This property is key-value observable.
