picture style with the 5D2 and 1D4

[Roland Scheiner]

Because I don´t store always capture my photos as raw file I thougt to use picture Style. I made the expierience that especially landscape picture need some push up in contrast und color saturation. I have test it myself.


But does anybody have expierence with the picture style settings for landscape pictures and


standard motives. I mean I always can add or deduct contrast for JPEGs But it is a question of


using the entire features the 5D2 and the 1D4 offers.

Hey Roland,


I only use picture styles for video-ing or very large time-lapses(but still...I would be pushing myself to RAW). For normal stills it's always RAW.


Personally I think you shouldn't be using jpeg with any of both camera's [:P] At least I would be pissed if a totally awesome photo, accidentaly shot with the wrong picture style/whitebalance etc etc, would be messed up by shooting in jpeg and leaving me with less room to play with.


Memorycards and HD's aren't that expensive(compared to a 1D4 the're trow-aways[:P], so my best advice is to use RAW pretty much full-time unless you absolutely can't.
