You can read up on the full Canon documentation on Picture Styles here.Ĭhris Gampat is the Editor in Chief, Founder, and Publisher of the Phoblographer. Sometimes, life just needs a bit of hot sauce! Years ago, with my Canon 5D Mk II, I used to do this with Sigma Art lenses for an even better effect. (Shoot with the RF 50mm f1.2 L USM lens and a flash for a perfect balance between sharpness and character.)

I typically stick to the Portrait picture style on both the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon EOS R. I’d never use the Landscape setting for portraits, for example. After all, why do all the creativity in 13 hours of work when you can get it done in a two-hour photoshoot instead?Īs you cycle through the Canon Picture styles, you’ll see some pretty distinct differences. However, we like to spend as little time as possible on the computer and as much time as possible shooting. Most folks just leave it on Standard and edit their work in post-production. But the Picture Styles are pretty specific to Canon. I'm not sure if these new Picture Styles are actually useful, but hope at a minimum they keep some of you amused.Canon’s Picture Styles are synonymous with other things. You can see them applied instantly when viewing via Live View mode, too. They have full tone curves and color mappings, so these styles can apply very dramatic changes to the pictures. This reminded me that when uploaded from the PC, Picture Styles encompass a LOT more settings than the basics that you can choose on the camera screen (e.g. The full names will appear on the screen, so you don't need to remember which numbers are which. These can be uploaded via EOS Utility, and at least on the 7D, you can choose any 3 to fill the 3 user setting slots on your camera. I personally shoot RAW normally and don't use Picture Styles. The styles are: Studio Portrait, Snapshot Portrait, Nostalgia, Clear, Twilight, Emerald, and Autumn Hues. I have seen 4 of these mentioned on other sites, but it looks like there are 3 others that have not caught anybody's attention yet.

I just noticed Canon has 7 picture style files available on their Japan site (on an English language page too, fortunately). Apologies if this has been posted before.
