The image will be recorded with Adobe RGB.

Selecting Adobe RGB

When Adobe RGB has been set, the processing parameters cannot be set. (

→p.56)

All the processing parameter settings will be set to [0].

Images captured with [Adobe RGB] will not be appended with the ICC profile. To
convert the profile, Adobe RGB must be specified.

When images captured with Adobe RGB are displayed on an sRGB-based LCD
monitor, video monitor, or printed with an sRGB printer, the resulting image will look to
have low chroma. The chroma must therefore be adjusted beforehand.

Select Adobe RGB if you want to use a personal computer to adjust the color saturation or if
the image will be used for commercial printing with Adobe RGB.
