If you are choosing a flat image style on your camera, the image on the screen may not seem that attractive anymore. This way, you will be able to make a better exposure to the right based on the histogram. Just reduce contrast a lot and saturation a bit. It will be easier to check if your exposure is correct. Because the histogram is affected by the chosen picture style, using exposure to the right will become much easier also.įor photography, you can make a flat picture profile, based on a built-in neutral one. Why not use something similar to your photography? By making a very flat picture style, you will see a low contrast image on a screen or in the electronic viewfinder. Among some other differences, the LOG film format will have a very flat picture style, allowing us to change the look with a LUT afterward. This is something similar to the LOG film format, as seen in different types of cameras.
You can use the in-camera picture style to your advantage also. Using In-Camera Picture Styles to Your Advantage I have seen it happen a lot of times during my workshops and masterclasses. But if you are a mirrorless camera user and you judge your exposure based on the exposure simulation as seen in the EVF, there is a chance you did not try different exposure settings. Perhaps this is not a problem if you have multiple images of the same subject with different exposure settings. Look again at the histogram, which is very different compared to the previous image. This is an example of a picture style on the Canon EOS R with low contrast and reduced saturation. It is a very personal and conscious choice. They are happy with the way the photos are being produced by the camera. Each film simulation will give the image a certain look and feel to it. This is probably the most important reason for some photographers to shoot in JPEG. These are the film simulations called Astia, Classic Chrome, Eterna, Velvia, and Acros. Some cameras have a more extensive range of picture styles, like the Nikon Z 7. Fujifilm offers a lot of picture styles also. Third-party styles can be imported through the Canon software. I use Canon as my main camera system, and it offers styles like portrait, landscape, neutral, and a couple of other styles. Embedded picture styles are also available. The first group, the photographers who prefer to shoot in JPEG, can give the image a certain look by using the in-camera settings for contrast, saturation, and perhaps a bunch of other settings. I don’t believe there is an absolute right or wrong in this. Both have their own good reasons why to use the file format they prefer. There are two types of photographers: the ones who shoot in JPEG and the ones who shoot in raw.
