In this contribution, we first describe our method. Then we show some selected results especially focusing on effects of the deflection of light rays and the lens-lens coupling which are neglected in making the theoretical predictions of the cosmic shear statistics. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0009459v1
