Setting the Color Reproduction
Range
The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this camera,
you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB.
For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes,
[sRGB]
is set automatically.

Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial
uses. This setting is not recommended if you are not familiar with 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 an sRGB
computer environment and with printers not compliant to Design rule for
Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing of the image
with computer software will therefore be required.
z
If the still photo is shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the first character in
the file name will be an underscore “_”.
z
The ICC profile is not appended. For explanations about the ICC profile, refer
to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.
