Modifying Picture Styles to increase DSLR Video Latitude
Stockholm-based Canon 7D shooter Luka has posted a wonderful tutorial on Vimeo on maximizing the dynamic range of your DSLR video. As he states in the video, the tutorial is not aimed at making pretty pictures directly from the camera…it is intended to give you more information to work with later in post and color correction. It’s a very well done tutorial, and applies equally well to Canon 5D MKII Picture Styles. It’s also rather funny. Check it out below.
You can snag the picture style presets referenced in this tutorial here. If you need the Canon software for your OS, navigate to your camera model and download it here.

As entertaining as Luka is, his video is just a touch short on details. As a companion (or alternative), I would also suggest this article on Stu Maschwitz’s ProLost blog:
