Neutral is one of the most important Picture Styles for the serious photographer. Contrast is reduced, color saturation is lower, and in-camera sharpening is virtually eliminated. Images are perfect for further image-editing later at your computer. Equally important, the Neutral setting matches the default "look" of images from previous Canon EOS cameras without Picture Styles. Again, it's easy to increase the level of sharpening, contrast, color saturation, or shift the color tone using the camera's menu.
