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

Set the desired color space.
Select [ sRGB ] or [ Adobe RGB ], then
press <
0

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).
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). Post-processing of the image with
software will therefore be required.

About Adobe RGB
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).
The ICC profile is not appended. See explanations about the ICC profile
in the Software Instruction Manual (p.272) in the CD-ROM.
