Custom Setting 32: Color Mode
Your Nikon digital camera offers you a choice of color modes
for recording digital photographs. Choose a setting suited to
your production work-flow and the task at hand. When open-
ing photographs in an application that supports color man-
agement, select a color profile that matches the color setting
in effect at the time the photograph was taken. Note that if
you conver t the image to a different color space when opening it, you will not
achieve exactly the same colors as the original. If the image is converted to a color
space with a narrower gamut, tonal discontinuities may be observed.
Option
I (sRGB)
(default)
II (Adobe RGB)
No.
This setting is adapted to the sRGB color space,
which reproduces colors as seen with little or no
editing. It is particularly suited to human portrait
subjects.
Images r ecorded in this mode are adapted to the
Adobe RGB color space. This color space is ca-
pable of expressing a wider range colors than the
sRGB color space , making it the preferred choice in
studio settings and commercial production work-
flo ws.
