5 - Camera Color Spaces

sRGB

Your camera was probably preset to the sRGB color space.

Your camera may offer variations of the sRGB color space, such as Vivid Color.

Adobe RGB

You can probably set your camera to the Adobe RGB color space.

As mentioned, this color space has more colors.

But, photographs using Adobe RGB may not display properly on your monitor, and some labs may not be able to use Adobe RGB for printing.

The above topics will be covered later.

If you decide to use Adobe RGB, you must use the Adobe RGB color space throughout your photography system.

The next stop down the photography system is files.
