18-105 is Curving My Images?

[DimitryG31]

Not sure what's going on here, but it doesn't seem normal to me. Keep in mind, I'm pretty new to these cameras (A6000), but it seems to be curving the bottom of my pictures.

 

Here's a perfect example. If you look at the sidewalk, it's bowed. Any idea as to what's going on?

Lens distortion is quite normal in zooms, most editing software will auto-correct for it.
There’s a setting in the camera, try using that to see if it makes any difference:

It should indeed only affect RAW-images. Out-of-camera JPEGs are corrected for lens distortion if you enable it in camera.

Thanks very much! Next time I'm shooting, I'll definitely enable that. As for programs that correct it, I'll make sure that gets researched on. I didn't know what this was! Thank you both.
