CColor Mode

•Modes Ia and IIIa are recommended for photos that will be printed without modification or viewed in applications that do not support color management.

•If the application supports color management, choose the Adobe RGB color space when opening photos taken in mode II. See the documentation provided with the application for details.

DColor Space

The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduction. sRGB is for general use, while Adobe RGB is used in publishing and commercial printing.

DHue Adjustment

Color consists of three elements, saturation, hue, and brightness. The Hue adjustment option is for adjusting one of these elements, hue. As color wheels are often used to express hue, with the degree of rotation of the color wheel indicating the level of hue adjustment, angular degrees are the units used.

White Balance

Change the white balance setting (A 52). In addition to the options available from the Quick settings display detailed in “White Balance“, a specific type of fluorescent lighting can be specified. White balance can also be fine tuned (A 104). If fine tuning is not necessary, set the fine tuning value to 0 and press Q.
