Re: Camera calibration file - do we need it?

What's bothering me is the code that corrects the video for camera distortion based on a file called Calibration File640x480.png. Are we expected to create our own calibration file specific for our camera? Do we just use the file included with the example code?
If we need to create our own calibration file where can we find the procedure for creating it? I have yet to see any specific instructions for that anywhere. Did I miss something?
I've fiddled with turning that on and off, and it does nothing. It's really only for when the camera is looking up a significant angle. When targeting the peg, this is not the case.
