If you want to load a custom Picture Style into your SLR and use it for movie mode (such as Technicolor's CineStyle), it seems Canon's EOS Utility has a funny way of doing things.
To save anyone the hassle of finding out by trial and error, or perhaps trying to decipher convoluted forum threads, the process is as follows:
- Connect the camera to your computer via USB, start up EOS Utility (version 2.6 or later).
- Switch the camera's mode dial to a still picture mode, such as M.
- In EOS Utility's side panel, click the camera button to show the Shooting Menu. Click Register User Defined style.
- Choose one of the User Def tabs at the top, then click the Open File button. Choose the picture style file. The picture style is now on the camera.
- Switch the camera's mode dial to movie mode, click Register User Defined style again, then you will find your new picture style is in the drop-down list.

| You can upload picture styles whilst in a stills mode. |
 |
| Once the picture style is uploaded, it can be chosen in movie mode. |
For some reason, movie mode won't allow you to upload the picture style file, this has to be done in a stills shooting mode. The picture style then becomes available in movie mode and you can assign it to a user defined setting.
Thanks mate, much appreciated! :)
ReplyDeleteVery helpful! (And, if you do not mind, I quoted this post when someone else had the same problem) =]
ReplyDeleteHI
ReplyDeleteI installed CineStyle on the 3 def. Users profiles file thru M mode to camera.
Now when I go M mode I can see the cinestyle isntalled on all 3 profiles.
But when I go to shooting mode I see User1. Potrait User2.Standard User3. Standard.
That means it's installed and ready to use on shooting mode as well.
Hi! Thanks for this info. Does this work for 60d's? I am having problems from step #5. The user defined style cannot be highlighted, clicked on or changed. I have EOS utility vs. 2.9. Any ideas? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt should be the same process for the 60D. It's been a long while since I've done this, but I vaguely remember having this problem. In my case I think I had the camera in the wrong shooting mode. If you still have problems at step 5 I can only suggest try switching the shooting mode back and forth or restarting the camera to see if that solves it.
