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 the camera or non-

Adobe RGB-compliant devices, the images are displayed with low saturation.

The higher the value selected, the more the difference of light 
and shadow is accentuated, thus making an impact on an 
image.

The higher the value selected, the more vivid the color. When 
a lower value is selected, the color of the image is restrained 
and subdued.

Adjusts the sharpness. The higher the value selected, the 
more the contours are accentuated, and the lower the value 
selected, the more the contours are softened.

Changing the range of color reproduction (Color Space)

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.

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.”
