Shoot with Style — Pictures Styles!
Canon Picture Styles give you an automatic way to adjust your images from the get-go with contrast, sharpness, saturation, and color tones suited to the kind of images you're taking: portrait, landscape, black-and-white (monochrome), and other styles. You set your camera to a specific style and then it is applied to the photos you shoot; this, in turn, is carried through to Canon's photo software application, Digital Photo Professional. If you're printing your own photos, you can even use it on a Canon printer to ensure balanced colors and tones all the way to prints.
Decide on a type of photo you want to shoot; in my case, I chose landscape. However, for the first shot I just kept my camera at the default setting with no Picture Styles applied. Take your photo. Now, set your camera to the appropriate Picture Style and shoot again.
Do you see a difference in the LCD between the shots? When you download the image to your computer, do you see a difference there? Is it better?
Photographer Natalie Quinn captured this image of a sailboat in Puget Sound with Washington's Mt. Rainier looming high in the background. Because the Landscape Picture Style is optimized for blue and green tones (such as in the sky and foliage) along with increased sharpness, it was a perfect setting for this image. Taken with a 5D and an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS lens at ISO 250, 1/250 second, and f/6.4.
