Canon Styles

I am rather confused how styles work. The only different in I see between each style is a change in sharpness. All the other levels are the same. I read that this is suppose to mimick the different types of film they use back in the day.

Yes. Ok. But why are all the settings the same except for sharpness?

The in-camera adjustment is +/- relative to the properties baked into the Picture Style. That's why they all start in the middle.

Not Auto; Auto isn't a style, but a camera option to let the camera is the best style for the scene, analagous to how the camera selects exposure using Evaluative - built-in algorithms.

A custom style would be built upon which style you want to fine tune to your liking, i.e. any of the actual styles.

Correct, unless you use Canon DPP.

OK I want to know why we can't give 2 kudo or 3 kudo here. This is the Kudos man!!!!

Well I just have to look into style for jpegs. Which style would give me the sharpest picture?
