One more remark on the camera correction issue...

The camera correction does actually matter quite a bit, especially where it
concerns the movie alignments in the early phases of processing, as Tanaka
mentioned too.  What I want to point out here is that the effect of the
camera correction needs to be judged directly at the camera level by the
FRC, or better still, by the FRI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03223) and not
at the end of a long processing chain where the influence of tons of
unrelated intermediate processing decisions have been made. (Yes the
quality of the shoes of a football player has an influence on who wins the
game, but blaming the outcome of a game on the quality of shoes of the
football player..., well... ). Since the camera correction significantly
influences the movie alignment procedures, and assuming all processing is
done adhering to the appropriate sampling and processing rules, the main
influence on the 3D output of the game will be in the number of particles
effectively available for 3D reconstruction. That number will affect the
FSC (Harauz & van Heel 1986), yes, but less than it will affect the
R-weighted Fourier Shell Information FSI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03223)!
Bottom line: take care of your metrics and stick to the rules and you will
win the game!

Two more pennies on the issue,
Marin
