of color reproduction is called “color space.” You can change the color
space, depending on your purpose.

Notes
• Adobe RGB is for applications or printers that support color management and
DCF2.0 option color space. Using some applications or printers that do not support
them may result in or print images that do not faithfully reproduce the color.
• When displaying images that were recorded with Adobe RGB on non-Adobe RGB-
compliant devices, the images are displayed with low saturation.
sRGB This is the standard color space of the digital camera. Use
sRGB in normal shooting, such as when you intend to print
out the images without any modification.
AdobeRGB This has a wide range of color reproduction. When a large
part of the subject is vivid green or red, Adobe RGB is
effective.
• The file name of the image starts with “_DSC.”
