About Adobe RGB

This 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).

Since the image will look very subdued with an sRGB personal computer environment and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required.

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. The ICC profile is explained in the Software Instruction Manual (PDF).
