_et the desired color space.
®_Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then

About Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in a sRGB
personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with
Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of
the image with software will therefore be required.
[] _#If the image is captured with the Color space Set to Adobe RGB, the file
name will start with "_MG±" (first character is an underscore).
## The ICC profile is not appende d. See explanations about the !co prefi!e
in the Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure suiting the brightness
of the subject. This is called shutter-priorly AE. A faster shutter speed
can freeze the action or moving subject. Or a slower shutter speed can
create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.
*<Tv > stands for Timevalue.

Av" Aperture=Priority AE
In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure suiting the
subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher
f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and
background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower
f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and
background fall within acceptable focus.
*<Av > standsfor Aperture value (aperture opening).
