In part one I recommended using the built-in Standard picture style for general use. Standard produces a decent looking image with sufficient contrast, saturation, and sharpness. Canon has always been recognized for its color science, so basic video out of the M50 looks pretty good for a budget, consumer camera.

Cinestyle is a free Picture Style created by Technicolor. You can install Cinestyle on any Canon camera which supports custom picture styles. Cinestyle was originally designed years ago for the Canon 5D Mark II.
Unlike FilmKit Flat and Cinestyle, Prolost Flat is not a file you download and install, but rather a custom picture style you create by editing settings on the camera. These settings create flat footage that looks similar to FilmKit Flat and Cinestyle.
Filmkit Flat is a picture style that expands the dynamic range on Canon mirrorless cameras that do not come with C-log (like the M50, M6 Mark II, EOS RP and R10). It is tuned to take advantage of the additional dynamic range and image pipeline in Canons recent mirrorless cameras. It closely matches the official Canon Log found on the EOS R, so it is fully compatible with LUTs designed for Canon Log. The picture style can be installed on any Canon mirrorless or DSLR that supports custom picture styles.
That's why I decided to create a picture style for Canon mirrorless cameras that fit my requirements of matching Canon-log as closely as possible, retaining accurate color response (no reds turning purple), and minimizing degradation of the image.
Filmkit Flat comes with the picture style (in .pf3 format) and 5 LUTs (in .cube format) for converting the footage shot with the Filmkit Flat profile back to Rec709. It also includes a small guide on how to install, use and grade Filmkit Flat.
Sometimes you want to retain shadow- and highlight detail, without having to extensively grade the footage afterwards. For those fast-turnaround projects I've designed Filmkit WideDR: a picture style for Canon cameras that protects highlights and shadows but can be used straight out of camera (just add some contrast to taste). As an added benefit, Filmkit WideDR is easier to shoot with, because you're not looking at a flat image on your monitor.
The picture styles are compatible with every Canon mirrorless and DSLR that supports user-defined picture profiles, which means every Canon camera released in the last 10 years. This includes the Canon EOS M6, M50 (original and Mark II), Canon EOS RP and Canon R10, but also DSLRs like the Canon 5D, 6D, 90D and 800D.
To install the picture style on your Canon DSLR or mirrorless, you need the free Canon EOS Utility. First, make sure your camera is set to the manual photo mode. Then connect your camera to your computer via USB and open EOS Utility. In the app, click on: 2ff7e9595c
