Color Space

Color ranges for various input/output devices, such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers, differ.

This color range is called the Color Space.

To recreate different color spaces in different devices, standard color spaces have been proposed. This camera supports sRGB and AdobeRGB.

sRGB is mainly used for devices such as a PC. AdobeRGB covers a wider area than sRGB and is used for occupational uses such as industrial printing.

An image created in AdobeRGB may appear lighter than an image created in sRGB when output from a sRGB compatible device.
