Menu Guide
C Color Mode
• Modes Ia and IIIa are recommended for photos that will be printed without modification or viewed
in applications that do not support color management.
• If the application supports color management, choose the Adobe RGB color space when opening
photos taken in mode II. See the documentation provided with the application for details.
D 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.
D Hue Adjustment
Color consists of three elements, saturation, hue, and brightness. The Hue adjustment option is for
adjusting one of these elements, hue. As color wheels are often used to express hue, with the
degree of rotation of the color wheel indicating the level of hue adjustment, angular degrees are the
units used.
White Balance
Change the white balance setting (A 52). In addition to the
options available from the Quick settings display detailed in “White
Balance“, a specific type of fluorescent lighting can be specified.
White balance can also be fine tuned (A 104). If fine tuning is not
necessary, set the fine tuning value to 0 and press Q.
