Annex E
Color Space Guidelines
sRGB defines standard monitor color characteristics and viewing environment. The images taken and processed
by a DSC should be designed on the premise of being reproduced and viewed in accord with those definitions.
In reality, the recorded data is often saved in a YCC color space because of JPEG compression. It is therefore
necessary to clarify the relationship between the above sRGB color space and YCC color space. A definition of this
relationship is to be found in the sYCC standard (for which standardization is being advanced in the IEC), and the
present standard uses this as reference. One result of referring to the sYCC standard is that colors outside the
sRGB color space are included.
