    It is supposed to mimic low quality cameras. Chromatic abberation occurs because different colors of light focus at slightly different distances from the lens. This is the same effect that causes prisms to “split” white light into its component colors. i.e the angle light is bent depends on its wavelength/color. Newer, more expensive cameras have various means of either cirrecting for or avoiding the problem.
