Canon eos 40d picture style feature...broken?

Question

I have done all I can and have read everything and I can not for the life of me get the Picture Style feature button on my camera to work. Is something locked and I just don't see it? Help Please.

Answer 1

Before you call Canon and try to pursue it as broken, let me ask this... What mode are you in?

The picture style button doesn't work in the Basic Modes.  Put your camera in one of the creative modes (P, Av, Tv, M, A-Dep).  Now try it, it should work.

Picture style is only enabled for the creative modes.  The auto modes will automatically select the "best" picture style.

If it doesn't start working for you in one of the creative modes, then you've got a problem that may need Canon Technical Assistance.

Answer 2

First call the Canon help line 800.OK-CANON

Some of the buttons on even the Mark III are falling off.  It seems that there have been some issues with QC on some of the first ones made.

If this camera is one of your tools making a living and are a member of CPS (Canon Professional Services) Canon may send you a loner, but you will have to make your case.
