New Varia RCT715 close proximity lines curved at edges.of image/video.

As per title,  I have a new Varia RCT715 and I've noticed close proximity lines are curved at edges.of image/video. This results in distortion of detail towards the edges of the image. It looks like the image wants to curve into a circle at the edges (see lhs of attached image, the curtain edge and window frame appear curved not straight as they are in reality). Has anyone else experienced this?

    This is a normal phenomenon for wide-angle optics. In theory the image could be post-processed by the camera's computer to make the edges straight, but this would result in some cropping, and this is something you'd want to avoid with this type of device.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'm no expert on optics so was a bit deterred.

    Regards.
