Choice of color modes.

One of the benefits of film photography is the ability to choose film emulsions. Because each type of film reacts to light differently, each offers a different color palette. In the same way, the DSC-R1 offers four different modes for color reproduction.

• Adobe RGB represents a wide range of colors to support professional, four-color printing of magazines and brochures.
• Standard sRGB is optimized for the most accurate reproduction on computer monitors and computer printers.
• Vivid sRGB reproduces more intense primary colors, similar to a good reversal film.
• RAW format brings the latent image into the digital darkroom. You can exercise exquisite control over RAW images without destroying the original data, using Sony's supplied Image Data Converter SR software. The software also converts RAW images into TIFF and JPEG files.
