Hi

I am trying to get to grips with my Nikon D50 and wondered if people would be able to help me understand about the colour settings on my camera.

Any information greatly appreciated thank you :)
 
Are they standard, such as 'flurescent', 'daylight', or 'flash' or can you set the degrees Kelvin? 1800K - 7000+K?

Hi Kelvin and thanks for your reply. I am talking about the custom options in the optimise image menu.......Colour mode menu where you have the following choices..... IIIa (sRGB) Ia(sRGB) or II(adobeRGB). I was wondering about these different settings and what they do

Regards Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,

A pro photographer told me that if you plan on doing any photoshop work/post-processing of your photos, you should always have your colour settings set to adobe RGB. Apparently this mode supports a wider range of colours than sRGB. If I remember correctly, Ia is for portrait shots you don't plan on retouching, IIIa is for landscapes. But I'd recommend setting your camera to Adobe RGB and leaving it that way.
