Minolta A1 instruction manual Noise Reduction, About Adobe RGB

Natural Color and Adobe RGB - reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully.

Black & White - produces mono- chrome images.

ABOUT ADOBE RGB

Vivid Color - increases the saturation of the colors in the scene.

Solarization - produces a partial rever- sal of tones and colors in the image.

Adobe RGB has a larger color gamut than the more common sRGB. The size of the gamut limits the colors that can be reproduced; the larger the gamut, the more colors. If the image will be printed out with a high-quality printer, the use of the Adobe RGB color mode is recommended over the sRGB color modes of Natural and Vivid Color.

Color matching must be used when opening Adobe-RGB image files. The use of embedded Adobe RGB is recommended. When using the DiMAGE Viewer, the color matching function must be active and the color space set to Original Color Space (Adobe RGB) in the color preferences window, see color matching in the advanced setup section in the DiMAGE Viewer manual. DiMAGE Viewer ver- sion 2.2 or later is required to open Adobe RGB images taken with this camera.

NOISE REDUCTION

This function reduces the affect of dark noise caused by long expo- sures. Noise reduction is only applied to exposures of one second or longer. Processing is applied to each image after it is captured. The monitor remains blank during processing for a maximum of 30 seconds. Noise reduction uses dark-frame subtraction.
