What are Canon picture styles?

Canon Picture Styles are preset yet adjustable parameters that determine how your EOS DSLR will process and render its images. Picture Styles are applied to JPEG (still) and MOV (video) files during exposure. They are permanent to the extent that the rendering is “baked in” and cannot be completely undone.

What is flat picture style?

A flat or neutral picture style will give you an image with the least contrast, maintaining better highlight and shadow detail. This allows you to bring out those details in processing. The reason is that the histogram shown on the back of the camera, as well as the image preview, reflect the selected picture style.

Does picture style affect raw canon?

The picture styles do not affect the RAW image. What they do is provide metadata that tells the photo editor how to bias the settings. In DPP (Canon’s photo editor) you can simply change the settings to whatever you want.

What does flat profile mean?
