The image corresponding to Adobe RGB color space is created. It is useful for profile
conversion to Adobe RGB or fine-tuning of chroma, because the color reproduction
range is much wider than the standard sRGB setting.
Adobe RGB must be selected for profile conversion, because the ICC profile is not
attached to the images shot by this camera. Also, chroma adjustment is required as
chroma is lowered under sRGB circumstance.
5 Sets an image low-chroma. Effective for making color tone moderate.

The color matrix enables you to select the preferred hue, chroma, and color gamut (range of
reproducible colors). These are equivalent to color film characteristics.
