About Adobe RGB
This 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).
Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computers
and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System
2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be
required.
[il
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).

Software Instruction Manual (PDF).
