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!

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.
