Setting The Color Space - Canon MARK II EOS 5D Instruction Manual

Setting the Color SpaceN
3
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), sRGB is set automatically.
About Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in the sRGB
personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with
Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of
the image with software will therefore be required.
If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file
name will start with "_MG_" (first character is an underscore).
The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.
