Setting the Color Space

3
The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this
camera, the color space for captured images can be set to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.

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 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a
sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible
with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-
processing of the image with software will therefore be required.
If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the
first character in the file name will be an underscore "_".
The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC
profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.412) on the CD-ROM.
