2. Set the Mode Dial to [ P / Tv / Av / M / B].

3. Press the [ ] button.

4. Turn the [ ] dial to select [ ], then press [ ].

Caution

You can also select the Picture Style with [ : Picture Style].

5. Turn the [ ] dial to select a Picture Style, then press the [ INFO. ] button.

6. Turn the [ ] dial to select a parameter such as [Sharpness], then press [ ].

Caution

By selecting [Default set.], you can revert the respective Picture Style to its default parameter settings.

7. Turn the [ ] dial to adjust the parameter as desired, then press [ ].

Press the [MENU] button to save the adjusted parameters. The Picture Style selection screen will reappear.

8. Any parameter settings different from the default will be displayed in blue.

To shoot with the Picture Style you adjusted, first select the adjusted Picture Style, then shoot.

[Parameter Settings and Effects]

: Sharpness	: Strength	0 : Less sharp outline	7 : Sharp outline
	: Fineness^*1	1 : Fine	5 : Coarse
	: Threshold^*2	1 : Low	5 : High
: Contrast		-4 : Low contrast	+4 : High contrast
: Saturation		-4 : Low saturation	+4 : High saturation
: Color tone		-4 : Reddish skin tone	+4 : Yellowish skin tone

*1 : Indicates the fineness of the outlines to be emphasized. The smaller the number, the finer the outlines can be emphasized.
*2 : Sets how much the outline is emphasized based on the difference in contrast between the subject and the surrounding area. The smaller the number, the more the outline will be emphasized when the contrast difference is low. However, noise at high ISO speeds tends to be more noticeable when the number is smaller.

Caution

[ : Monochrome Adjustment ] Besides [Strength], [Fineness], or [Threshold] of [Sharpness] and [Contrast], you can also set [Filter effect] and [Toning effect].

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. It can make the image look more impressive.

* For more information on [Filter effect] and [Toning effect], please refer to the camera’s instruction manual.

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 is registered to the camera with EOS Utility (EOS software).

To register a Picture Style, carry out steps 1 to 4 above, and then follow the procedures below.

5. Turn the [ ] dial to select [User Def. *], then press the [INFO.] button.

6. With [Picture Style] selected, press [ ].

7. Turn the [ ] dial to select the base Picture Style, then press [ ].

*[Landscape] has been selected in the example image.

To adjust the parameters of a Picture Style that is registered to the camera with EOS Utility (EOS software), select the Picture Style here.

8. Turn the [ ] dial to select a parameter such as [Sharpness], then press [ ].

9. Turn the [ ] dial to adjust the parameter as desired, then press [ ].

Press the [ MENU ] button to register the modified Picture Style. The Picture Style selection screen will then reappear.

10. Any parameter settings different from the default ( ) will be displayed in blue. The base Picture Style ( ) will be indicated on the right of [User Def. *].

Caution

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. Any Picture Style registered via EOS Utility (EOS software) will have only its modified parameters reverted to the default setting.

Caution

To shoot with the Picture Style you adjusted, select the registered [User Def. *], then shoot.
