While Digital SLRs might "know" or identify the lens focal length, aperture
setting, focus, etc., It cannot identify the glass that is used in any given
lens or the optical properties specific to that particular lens. Since most
DSLRs allow for interchangeable lenses and lenses made by varying
manufacturers, it is probably not reasonable to expect the camera to be able
to compensate except in a generalized way for light fall off produced by any
particular lens.
