Color Space A defined range of colors from the spectrum which are used. In digital cameras, [sRGB] is defined as the standard by Exif. In this camera, [AdobeRGB], which supports a wider color gamut than sRGB, can be also used.
Page 195 Dynamic Range (D-Range) Indicated with a value expressing the light level reproducible in an image. This is the same as the term "Exposure latitude" used with silver halide film. Generally, when the dynamic range is wide, overexposed and/or underexposed areas are less likely to occur within the image, and when the dynamic range is narrow, all image tones can be reproduced sharply and accurately.
