Does Canon picture style affect raw?
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.
How do I choose a Canon image style?
Simply head into the main menu, select the picture styles option and you’ll be greeted by a list of picture style choices. The likelihood is your picture style will be set to the standard default setting. Below it are portrait, landscape, neutral, faithful and monochrome options.
How can I Make my 5D Mark II take better pictures?
Try shooting your 5D Mark II at its M (11MP) or S (5MP) settings. If you look at your images at 100%, you’ll see that the lower resolution shots are sharper pixel-by-pixel! When I’m photographing family and friends, I shoot at SMALL JPG. Even SMALL is good enough for great 20×30″ prints.

Can you use manual focus override on the 5D Mark II?
