Canon EOS in WeMacro rail.

I have recently purchased a Wemacro rail and tried it for the first. The problem is that i get some photos in picture style Portrait even though the camera picture style is set to Landscape. Anyone who can tell me how to fix this problem?

As far as I can see the Wemacro rail is just a powered macro rail. It appears that the only connection to the camera is via a shutter release cable. That should have no effect on Picture Style, which is something you set in the Shoot menu, and allows you set Sharpness, Saturation, Contrast etc - and once set, all images should have the same setting. Which camera are you using? Are you specifically choosing a Picture Style?  Does it affect all the images in a series, of just some?

(…I assume you’re taking about Portrait and Landscape in those terms, not vertical and horizontal orientation)

Also what software are you using to stack the resulting images? I think only Canon’s DPP4 allows you to adjust the Picture Style (as set on the camera) during RAW conversion, so I would be looking at whether there is something happening in DPP to explain your problem.

Though I can’t directly explain the issue you are having, if you are using DPP, you should be able to re-set the Picture Style so that all the images use the same chosen style. Perhaps try that and let us know how you get on.

Hope this helps.

I might have misunderstood something here, and i know that the rail is not part of the problem. I think of Portrait and Landscape as in a printer setup instead of horizontal and vertical. So my problem is that some of the pictures are horizontal and others are vertical and this will not give a beautiful stacked image.  My setup is Canon RP and i use Lightroom/Photoshop for stacking.

Now that problem is much easier to solve.

In camera settings you have a choice to let the camera choose the orientation automatically. That is a BIG problem if you are shooting in vertical orientation. The choice becomes pretty much random. So the solution is to turn off the automatic rotation. I don't recall where that setting was, so look it up from the manual.

Ah ha - I did ask if you were confusing “Picture Style” with orientation. On the RP it’s the yellow wrench menu, tab 1, Auto rotate - turn it Off.
