I read on a Web site that no printers have a color gamut larger than sRGB, so why should I set the E-1 to capture Adobe RGB?
First of all, the statement isn’t true! There are many devices whose color gamut exceeds sRGB. Yes, few, very few, totally extend past the entire sRGB gamut but any area — no matter how — within the total color space that extends past sRGB is “out of gamut” and can’t be reproduced. Maybe just the saturated greens and yellows extend past the sRGB gamut while others are within the sRGB gamut. Problem is, those yellows or greens can’t be reproduced. This issue even applies to Adobe RGB though to a far lesser extent. The bottom line is the RAW data is capable of containing a pretty wide color gamut, and you probably want to have access to this color. Why funnel more data into less data when you don’t have to? Q. I’m concerned about exposure when shooting RAW+JPEG. Someone told me the histogram on the back of digital cameras doesn’t accurately show the RAW data exposure. That’s correct. Since RAW data has to be converted into a true, full color image, the histogram can’t possibly predict
