It is my understanding that in the photography/videography world, "corners cut off" is known
as vinyetting.
It certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to use your review as a way to enlighten those readers
that do not yet know this terminology as it will certainly come up elsewhere in discussions
about videography.
Actually it's called/spelled "vignetting" and I tend to use more common language in my reports so that people do not have to use a glossary
But I totally agree, when I have the time I will add a glossary to the site and use more "professional" terms.
VIGNETTING: Underexposure of image corners produced deliberately by shading or unintentionally by inappropriate equipment, such as unsuitable lens hood or poorly designed lens. A common fault of wide-angle lenses, owing to reflection cut-off, etc. of some of the very oblique rays. May be caused in some long-focus lenses by the length of the lens barrel.
Oops. Sorry about the spelling. Google can screw you too.
