reproducing each color.
The possible range of color reproduction is referred to
as color space. Several standards of color space are
fixed for each device. This camera support sRGB and
Adobe RGB. sRGB is diversely used in the devices
like computer. It is recommended to use sRGB for
regular images. sRGB standards for International
standard of color space established by the IEC
