Reference—Color Space

Color Space

The options in the Color Space menu determine the gamut of colors available for color reproduction. 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 no
(default)	further modification. Color mode II is not available ( 47).
	This color space is capable of expressing a wider gamut of colors than
AdobeRGB	sRGB, making it the preferred choice for images that will be extensively
	processed or retouched.

Color Space

sRGB is recommended when taking photographs that will be printed without modification or viewed in applications that do not support color management, or when taking photo- graphs 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 compliant; applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 will select the correct color space automatically. If the application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0, select the appropriate color space manually. For more information, see the documentation provided with the application or device.

Nikon Software

Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (available separately) and PictureProject automatically select the correct color space when opening photographs created with the D200.
