First thank you to all who answered! and specially for  Terje that provided me 
optimized values of the optical parameters, I will tried it on my camera and 
see if I can stitch with zero residual control point errors after
optimization!

I think not because hugin should load it normally?

OK, so I will may be just modify the HFOV as the cropping as not a real 
signification... in my case...
