Konica Minolta 5D Instruction Manual

Adobe RGB has a larger color gamut than the more common sRGB. The size of the gamut limits the
colors that can be reproduced; the larger the gamut, the more colors. If the image will be printed
out with a high-quality printer, the use of the Embedded Adobe RGB and Adobe RGB color modes
are recommended over the other sRGB color modes. 

Embedded Adobe RGB image files are indicated with a .JPE extension. Adobe RGB images without
an embedded profile use a file name beginning with _ICT. See page 120 for more information.

Always use DFC 2.0 optional color space compliant software to open Adobe RGB images without
embedded profiles. DiMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 or DiMAGE Master 1.1 or later is DFC 2.0 optional
color space compliant. Always use software with color matching or color management functions to
open Adobe RGB images with embedded profiles. Software without color management functions,
such as Kodak EasyShare, will not reproduce Adobe RGB images correctly. 

DiMAGE Master Lite supplied with the camera is required to open RAW Adobe RGB images taken
with this camera. The full version of DiMAGE Master can also be used. For more on DiMAGE
Master, see page 81 or visit us on the web at:

The Digital Effects Control can make adjustments to the
contrast, color saturation, and sharpness of specific color
modes. Some color modes use preset Digital Effects
Control values, the default positions are indicated by a
thick index mark on the scale. Digital effects are set with
the function button (p. 56).

On the function-selection screen, use the up/down keys of
the controller to select the contrast, saturation, or
sharpness control; the selected control is highlighted. Use
the left/right keys to make adjustments. Press the central
button of the controller to complete the operation. 

The active mode is displayed on the monitor. When using portrait,
landscape, sunset, night view, or night portrait color mode, the use of
auto white balance is recommended.
