EOS 40D picture style question
I noticed in my 40D user's manual that the sharpness parameter is a notch
higher in the landscape style than the standard style (which is where I leave it set). Am I losing some of the potential resolution with the standard setting, or does landscape just apply a "sharpening" effect. Thanks. |

Put the camera in a tripod, focus the lens carefully, switch to manual focus (if it's not already there), and take a picture at each of the sharpness levels. Now compare. Please do tell us what you find. You will like this answer... less... Yes, it is just a sharpening effect, but it is done with the RAW data from the image and is only applied to the JPEG generated in camera; so you may be losing data if your pictures are sharpened or you may be generating "extra" data with sharpening effects. Many people have found that this is the "best" answer... Shoot RAW and make the sharpening decision after the image is captured back on your computer when you can examine the image in detail and decide the final output (size, print, screen, etc.) |

EOS 40D picture style question
Thanks. I'm shooting in RAW all the time, so it looks like it's a non-issue
