About Adobe RGB

This is mainly for industrial use (printing machines, etc.). This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for amera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing of the image with software will therefore be required.

If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”.

The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC profile in the Software Instruction Manual on the CD-ROM.
