conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Color Space)

Selects the color space from sRGB or Adobe

 

 

 

 

 

RGB. Adobe RGB is a wider color space than

 

 

 

sRGB and encompasses the colors that can be

 

 

 

printed with CMYK inks. Select Adobe RGB if you

 

 

 

have a printer that supports it.

Sets the image format recorded when shooting

 

 

 

in RAW mode. You can select RAW format only,

 

 

 

or both RAW and JPEG (high resolution) format

 

 

 

in a single file. RAW+JPEG provides the

 

 

 

convenience of viewing the JPEG image on

 

 

 

most computers while retaining the RAW data

 

 

 

for postprocessing, at an increase in image size

 

 

 

and memory card access time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Film Setting)

Allows you to quickly switch film profiles to best

 

 

 

suit the shooting subject or environment. For

 

 

 

each film profile (Film1, Film2, or Film3), you can

 

 

 

assign Edge Enhance, Saturation, Tint, Contrast,

 

 

 

and NR (Noise Reduction). By default, Film1 is

 

 

 

preset for portrait, Film2 for landscape, and

 

 

 

Film3 for night pictures. Use Standard if no

 

 

 

particular profile is required.
