Auto Distortion Control; Color Space - Nikon D5100 Reference Manual

Auto Distortion Control

Select On to reduce barrel distortion when shooting with wide-
angle lenses and to reduce pin-cushion distortion when
shooting with long lenses (note that the edges of the area
visible in the viewfinder may be cropped out of the final
photograph, and that the time needed to process photographs
before recording begins may increase). This option is available
only with type G and D lenses (PC, fisheye, and certain other
lenses excluded); results are not guaranteed with other lenses.
