Taking Photographs-Optimizing Images Suiting Colors to a Workflow: Color Mode The D70S offers a choice of color modes, which determine the gamut of colors available for color reproduction. Choose a color mode according to how photographs will be processed on leaving the camera. Option Ia (sRGB) (default) II (Adobe RGB) IIIa (sRGB) Description Choose for portrait shots that will be printed or used "as is," with no further modification. Photographs are adapted to sRGB color space. Photographs taken at this setting are adapted to Adobe RGB color space. This color space is capable of expressing wider gamut of colors than sRGB, making it preferred choice for images that will be extensively processed or retouched. Choose for nature or landscape shots that will be printed or used "as is," with no further modification. Photographs are adapted to sRGB color space. Color Mode Modes Ia and IIIa are recommended for photographs that will be printed without modification or viewed in applications that do not support color management, and for photographs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct printing option on some household printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print services. Photos taken in Mode II can also be printed using these options, but colors will not be as vivid. JPEG photographs taken in Mode II are Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 compliant; applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 will select the correct color space automatically. If the application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0, select the appropriate color space manually. For more information, see the documentation provided with the application or device. Nikon Software For best results when viewing photographs on a computer, use PictureProject (supplied) or Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later (available separately). Nikon Capture, which makes an excellent addition to any imaging workflow, is unique in its ability to directly edit NEF files without affecting the image quality of the original, and belongs at the first stage of any production workflow involving image editing software. When photographs created with the D70S are opened in PictureProject or Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later, the appropriate color space will be selected automatically. 59

Taking Photographs—Optimizing Images
Suiting Colors to a Workflow:
Color Mode
The D70S offers a choice of color modes, which determine the gamut of col-
ors available for color reproduction.
Choose a color mode according to how
photographs will be processed on leaving the camera.
Choose for portrait shots that will be printed or used “as is,”
with no further modification.
Photographs are adapted to
sRGB color space.
I
a (sRGB)
(default)
Photographs taken at this setting are adapted to Adobe RGB
color space.
This color space is capable of expressing wider
gamut of colors than sRGB, making it preferred choice for im-
ages that will be extensively processed or retouched.
II
(Adobe RGB)
Description
Option
Choose for nature or landscape shots that will be printed or
used “as is,” with no further modification.
Photographs are
adapted to sRGB color space.
III
a
(sRGB)
Color Mode
Modes Ia and IIIa are recommended for photographs that will be printed without
modification or viewed in applications that do not support color management, and
for photographs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct printing option on some
household printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print services.
Photos taken
in Mode II can also be printed using these options, but colors will not be as vivid.
JPEG photographs taken in Mode II are Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 compliant; applications
and printers that support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0 will select the correct color space au-
tomatically.
If the application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0, select
the appropriate color space manually.
For more information, see the documentation
provided with the application or device.
Nikon Software
For best results when viewing photographs on a computer, use PictureProject (sup-
plied) or Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later (available separately).
Nikon Capture,
which makes an excellent addition to any imaging workflow, is unique in its ability to
directly edit NEF files without affecting the image quality of the original, and belongs
at the first stage of any production workflow involving image editing software.
When
photographs created with the D70S are opened in PictureProject or Nikon Capture 4
version 4.2 or later, the appropriate color space will be selected automatically.
