Color Space

Color space refers to the area where colors are reproduced. The color reproduction area varies depending on the type of digital camera, monitor, printer or other input/output device. To match the colors from input to output, it is necessary to adjust the colors reproduced by each device by correcting/managing the different color reproduction areas. Adobe RGB color space has a broader color reproduction area than sRGB and is mainly used for business purposes, such as commercial printing. When images taken in Adobe RGB mode are output on an sRGB device, they will appear slightly paler than output images taken in sRGB mode.
You can set the color space of JPEG images. The default setting is [sRGB]. RAW images can be specified when developing images using Mamiya Digital PhotoStudio.
Setting sRGB Description Sets the color space to sRGB. Suitable for general image use. Sets the color space to Adobe RGB. With a broader color reproduction area AdobeRGB than sRGB, it is suitable for uses such as commercial printing. However, the same gamut can only be reproduced on an image output device with the Adobe RGB color reproduction area.

Setting the Color Temperature You can set the color temperature used for the white balance by the color temperature setting (kelvin value). 1. Press the WB button on the back of SD this unit. JPEG CF CUSTOM The WB indicator appears on the LCD PC monitor. 2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the color temperature setting [ ]. 3. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the color temperature (kelvin value) you want to set. Press and hold down the toggle key to change the color temperature continuously. 4. Press the WB button. Trial Shot Check that the color temperature you have set is the correct white balance for the shooting conditions by taking a test shot using the white balance set by the color temperature setting. Mired The color temperature of the light source is expressed in kelvins (K), but it does not correspond to the color difference of the light source. A difference of 500K in the high color temperature area is very different from a difference of 500K in the low color temperature area. The mired is a measure for expressing this breadth of variation. The mired value is the reciprocal of the color temperature multiplied one million times.
Customized White Balance Use the customized white balance when the desired white balance cannot be obtained by the manual white balance settings or color temperature settings. Two customized white balance settings can be saved. This function is useful when taking pictures in a limited color temperature environment. 1. Press the MENU button to display the menu. 2.

IEEE 1394 A high speed serial transmission system/protocol that connects a computer with a peripheral device such as an MO drive or digital camera. High speed data transmission is performed through a connection cable. JPEG Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression system for still image data, the JPEG file format takes the name of a professional organization established by ISO. During compression, the operator may choose between a compression method that entails slight loss of image quality (irreversible compression), or a method with no loss of quality (reversible compression), and in the case of the image quality loss compression, the degree of quality loss can be specified. LCD Abbreviation for Liquid Crystal Display. A display device that uses liquid crystal. LCD is thinner and lighter than other display devices, and consumes comparatively less power. It is often used in digital equipment. Mired This value is one million times the reciprocal number of the color temperature. Even where the difference in color temperature is the same, where the color temperatures are low the color change in the color temperature is large, and where the color temperatures are high, the color change in the color temperatures is small. For example, for a color temperature difference of 100K, in the 6000K range the color will hardly change at all, while in the 3000K range the color change will be large. Mired is a standard for expressing the variation widths that are substantially the same. Mired is also used as a unit for color temperature correction filters. Noise Conventionally, noise was unnecessary in an image and caused the image to deteriorate.
ppc This is an abbreviation for a unit of resolution, pixels per centimeter. It expresses the number of pixels in one centimeter. A higher number relates to a higher resolution. ppi This is an abbreviation for a unit of resolution, pixels per inch. It expresses the number of pixels in one inch. A higher number relates to a higher resolution. Profile A file that defines the color characteristics, and the color reproduction area of each input device. In a color management system, this profile is used to correct color differences between input devices and to perform color matching. RAW image An image captured with the picture quality mode set to RAW, in which the raw output from the CCDs (image capture element) is stored in non-compressed, 12 bit format. These images can only be opened with this software, and if the image is to be used in another application it is necessary to develop it and save it in JPEG or TIFF format first. The settings of various types of image retouch information such as tone curve, white balance, or color balance can be stored in a RAW image, so the image can be adjusted without any loss of image quality. Resolution A standard for expressing the fineness of an image and the smoothness of the image quality. Resolution is expressed as how many points can be expressed as a cluster within a unit width. The higher this value is, the finer the image that can be obtained. The number of dots displayed on the screen represents the quality of the picture. Printed or scanned documents are expressed in dpi or ppi.
