NOTE
- If you select [Monochrome] in Picture Style, it is also possible to set the [Filter effect] and [Toning effect] along with [Sharpness] and [Contrast].
- With a filter effect applied to a monochrome image, you can make white clouds or green trees stand out more.
- By applying a toning effect, you can create a monochrome image in that color.
For details about [Filter effect] and [Toning effect], see the instruction manual supplied with your camera.
Registering a Picture Style
You can select a base Picture Style such as [Portrait] or [Landscape], adjust its parameters as desired and register it under [User Def. 1], [User Def. 2], or [User Def. 3].
You can create multiple Picture Styles with different settings for parameters such as sharpness and contrast.
You can also adjust the parameters of a Picture Style that has been registered to the camera with EOS Utility.
IMPORTANT
- If a Picture Style has already been registered under [User Def. *], changing the base Picture Style in step 6 will nullify the parameter settings of the registered Picture Style.
- If you execute [Clear all camera settings] , all the [User Def. *] settings will revert to their defaults. Picture Styles registered via EOS Utility (provided software) will have only their modified parameters reverted to their default settings.
To register a Picture Style, carry out steps 1 to 3 above, and then follow the procedures below.
4. Press the <
> keys to select [User Def. *] (the * stands for 1, 2, or 3), and then press <INFO.>.
