A little background: I'm relatively new to shooting DSLR footage (not stills but video). I use a Canon 70D. I've recently learned a little about some of the popular picture styles out there which allow one to shoot in relatively neutral footage which apparently has some benefits in post (but not always). Do different “Picture styles” affect RAW output? Ask Question 19. As you wrote, setting a style is a non destructive operation when you shoot RAW, and the RAW processor (DPP, for example) lets you change styles while developing the image. What resources exist to learn how to create “good” Custom Canon Picture Styles? Skip October 30th, 2015. Very interesting article Jeff! I set my picture style to Faithful some time ago on my Canon 70D. However, I shoot RAW. I never have come across anything written that the picture styles didn’t affect RAW files before this.
And the other one is ISO. ISO is kind of there for exposure how how you are going to set the exposure. I will say you do not want go too far north of let’s say 1600 especially on like the Canon T2i then it gets really noisy.
Obviosly you are going to need to use aperture along with the ISO to get the right exposure but at least it gets you in the ball park. Those two ingredients are taken off the list.
So the first I can tell you about what is on the list is shutter speed. Basically if you are going for a filmic look you are pretty much going to double your frame rate, so if you are shooting 24 frames per second you are going to want a 1/50th of a second shutter speed and if you are shooting at 60 frames per second you are going to go with 125th frames per second shutter speed. Now I will tell you it’s just kind of a guideline and a rule but I have shot at much higher shutter speeds and it has worked wonderful, especially if you are shooting something like myself which is just basically a moving head. If you just getting your feet wet with your camera I think the best setting for Picture styles is Standard.
