Suiting Colors to a Workﬂow: Color Space

The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduc- tion. Choose a color space according to how photographs will be processed on leaving the camera.

Option	Description
sRGB	Choose for photographs that will be printed or used “as is,” with
sRGB (default)	no further modiﬁcation. Color mode II is not available (	72).

This color space is capable of expressing a wider gamut of colors

than sRGB, making it the preferred choice for images that will be Adobe AdobeRGB extensively processed or retouched. Black-and-white (sRGB) is

not available for Color mode when this option is in effect.

1 Highlight Color space in the shooting menu ( 168) and press the multi selector to the right.
