Canon Picture Styles? 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
So what's the scoop with the picture styles on the new canon camera's?
The standard setting seems almost a little to punchy for my liking what are most canon shooters using as the default setting? I know if your shooting raw it doesn't much matter but for the sake of shooting jpg is there a setting that doesn't color the image to much?

Any canon shooters out there with an opinion on this one?

Cris,

I've been using the "Faithful" style for my portrait work and am pretty happy with images right out of the camera...but I do shoot RAW and tweek in post.

Hi Rosemary,
Yes from i have been able to find the Faithful setting seems to be the closest to what i'd be use to coming from Parameter 2 on the 20d.
I picked up a 5d yesterday, an early xmas present from my folks can't wait to put it through it's paces.

Sherry are you shooting with a 5d? I believe the 30d also has this setting.
If you go into your menu scroll down to Picture Styles (This has replaced Parameters in the older Canon Camera's) You have 6 different settings under picture styles each which color your images a little differently ie: more saturation, sharpening etc...

Faithful seems to be the closest to what i'm use to coming from a 20d and shooting in Parameter 2 which leaves the image pretty flat so i can adjust in my post processing software instead of having the camera make those adjustments for me.

I've also been reading that some of the others such as Standard actually clip the whites in certain situations so you need to be careful.

I hope this helps.

Cris...

Thanks Cris
I shoot with a 1D Mark II and a 20D for backup.
