seldom homogeneous (because of the lighting, optics,
camera adapter, etc.) and Shading Correction corrects
this unevenness.
To create a perfectly corrected, homogeneous image, a
white image, ie an image of the exposure light only and
no subject, is taken as reference and calculated into the
live and captured image.
