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.
