Suiting Colors to a Workflow: Color Space

The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduc- tion. Choose a color space according to how photographs will be processed on leaving the camera.

Option	Description
sRGB	Choose for photographs that will be printed or used “as is,” with
sRGB (default)	no further modification. Color mode II is not available (	70).

This color space is capable of expressing a wider gamut of colors

Adobe AdobeRGB than sRGB, making it the preferred choice for images that will be extensively processed or retouched.

1 Highlight Color space in the shooting menu (166) and press the multi selector to the right.

2 Highlight the desired option and press the multi selector to the right. The shooting menu will be displayed.

Color Space

sRGB is recommended when taking photographs that will be printed without modifi- cation or viewed in applications that do not support color management, or when tak- ing photographs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct printing option on some household printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print services. Adobe RGB photographs can also be printed using these options, but colors will not be as vivid.

JPEG photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space are Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 com- pliant; applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 will select the cor- rect color space automatically. If the application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0, select the appropriate color space manually. An ICC color profile is em- bedded in TIFF photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space, allowing applications that support color management to automatically select the correct color space. For more information, see the documentation provided with the application or device.
