What is "default" for a Canon? My M6 has "auto" and "standard" picture styles, among others. I can't remember which one was set "out of the box". In the old days, it would have been the standard one, but now, I suspect that it's auto. Or at least, it's probably auto in some settings and standard in others. But I can't remember what position the mode selector dial was in when I took the camera out of the box, so I don't know which picture style it would have set. As far as I know, on "auto" the picture style the camera uses depends on what kind of scene it thinks it's shooting. So, in your example, auto might have given the landscape style, or it might have given the portrait style.

That is not how it works. The Auto picture style does not select one of the other picture styles. It works independently and the color tone will be adjusted automatically to suit the scene. My experience when shooting landscapes is that "Auto" is a little bit more vivid than "Standard" but not as vivid as "Landscape".

Thanks for the clarification. I've never used auto. I mostly shoot RAW, so the picture style is irrelevant to most of what I do. I use a tweaked version of fine detail for my JPEG shooting. In this scene, I wonder whether the camera interpreted it as a portrait or a landscape? Also, presumably, auto adjusts the other parameters as well as saturation. Contrast would be the most obvious parameter for adjustment. It's interesting to see how these five shots use different levels of contrast. C looks almost like it has fill flash, whereas B and D both seem to have fairly high contrast.

the exposure differences suck

the subject mater sucks

a total waste of time from the Fuji owner

Apparently you missed the part about one of the images being shot with an M system camera that I own.

- who is a top poster in the canon forum - it's a trap...

Yeah, anyone voting or commenting will have their IP address flagged and Sony's secret army of ninjas will sneak into your house tonight and replace all of your Canon cameras with a6000's sporting the 16-50 kit lens.

wow, is this what you use your cameras for?

rhetorical question

major waste of time
