On UK television we have a programme called 'The Gadget Show' (title self-explanatory, I think) and, on this week's programme, they set the presenters a challenge in which they had to take a Canon and a Nikon DSLR and take a picture that would match as closely as possible the Image Zone symbols on the camera - and I thought this would be a fun challenge for our forum folks here.

Just to be clear, the idea is not to use these settings to take the pictures, but to take a picture, by whatever means, that exactly matches that on the symbol. Therefore you would take a picture of a woman in profile (with exactly the same hairstyle as on the symbol), a mountain range showing just two peaks, a tulip, a running man, a man with a star over his shoulder - you get the idea. Don't forget, you have to match the symbol as closely as possible. Get shooting!

I have a 5D so this is a PERFECT match.

Is that supposed to be all black? Am I missing something?

ill help you out Sonic, ummmm ... the 5D does not have those symbols. ;) unless of course, you want us 5D owners to take pics of the letters C, B, M, Av, Tv, P, and a green square! :D

I don't believe that the 5D has the "photo style" settings, just P,Av,Tv, and M. Hence the black. He's making a joke.
