I doubt there's much you can do to get around it in-camera... the lens is a certain shape and without changing it, you won't change the levels of distortion it offers... this is where imaging software like photoshop comes in, which in the right hands (with a bit of patience) can eliminate all but the most fierce of distortions... if you indeed have photoshop, have a play around with the lens correction filter which (in cs2 anyway) can be found under Filter/ Distort/ Lens Correction.... but make sure to purge the cache beforehand if you're running anything other than a behemoth of a machine, as it's very memory-hungry!

hope that helps ;)
