faithfully reproduce the color.
 When displaying images that were recorded with Adobe RGB on the camera or non-Adobe RGB-
compliant devices, the images are displayed with low saturation.
sRGB This is the standard color space of the digital camera. Use sRGB 
in normal shooting, such as when you intend to print out the 
images without any modification.
AdobeRGB This has a wide range of color reproduction. When a large part of 
the subject is vivid green or red, Adobe RGB is effective.
The file name of the image starts with “_DSC.”
