The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this 
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or 
Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic 
Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically.

Select [Color space].
¡
Turn the <
5> dial to select [z
Color space], then press <
0>.
2
Set the desired color space.
¡
Turn the <
5> dial to select [sRGB]
or [Adobe RGB], then press <
0>.
This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses. 
This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image 
processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 
(Exif 2.21).
Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computers 
and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 
2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be 
required.
