Color Space
sRGB is recommended when taking photographs that will be printed without modifi cation
or viewed in applications that do not support color management, or when taking photo-
graphs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct printing option on some household
printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print services. Adobe RGB photographs can
also be printed using these options, but colors will not be as vivid.
JPEG photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space are Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 compliant;
applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 will select the correct color
space automatically. If the application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0,
select the appropriate color space manually. For more information, see the documentation
provided with the application or device.
Nikon Software
Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (available separately) and PictureProject automatically
select the correct color space when opening photographs created with the D200.
