The color mode controls what the image looks like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as well as the color space. The color mode is set

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with the function button (p. 56). The color mode can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

only be selected in P, A, S, and M exposure modes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Except for the Abobe RGB and embed Adobe RGB,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all color modes use sRGB color space. Some color

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

modes use preset Digital Effects Control values (p.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

63); the default positions are indicated by a thick

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

index mark on the scale of the setting screen.
