with exposure and the position of the subject in the frame.  For consistent results over a series of pho-
tographs, select Custom and choose a setting other than Auto for image sharpening, tone compen-
sation, and saturation.

Settings other than Custom use the sRGB color space.

The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduction.  sRGB is for general
use, while Adobe RGB is used in publishing and commercial printing.
