Here are full-size (right click to view full resolution) images of all the Photo Styles for your comparison (Daylight WB, at about 5pm):
Note: Overall a pleasing image, and a good starting point. But we can do better.
Note: Hate the skin tones and crushed blacks.
Note: Many like this style, but I find the skin tones unnatural, not very flattering.
My favorite! Compare this to Natural. Portrait has more shadow detail.
Possibly my least favorite.
Note: See what it does to skin tones? I’m not a fan of that yellow cast.
Note: Not a fan. Some people like this, I hate it whenever I’ve tried it.
Note: Very poor skin tones, I can’t see why some people use it. And it has less dynamic range than Cinelike D.
Note: Clearly the most dynamic range. See how the highlights are reigned in a bit.
For firmware v2.1 users: Please do not use HLG unless your work falls into either:
- Shooting specifically for HLG broadcast as commissioned, or
- Shooting a home video specifically for Panasonic TVs to watch HLG HDR
