Colour Spaces Woes

[leighton]

i have an odd problem occuring with my images, or the image data to be

specific.

first off, i have had my camera(D70s) set up to Adobe1998 colour space profile

for the last 99% of the year and a half i've owned it. however, sometimes when

i open up an image in Photoshop CS, it prompts me of a conflicting colour

space.(i have everything colour managed of course; camera, printer, program...)

so after getting the prompt, i go back to the exif to double check, and sure

enough, it is different, even after checking with another program. it seems as

though the camera just uses sRGB profile here and there when it wants to.

example: i may take 100 images, and 1-3 images may be like that, sometimes

less, sometimes a couple more.

 

so my question is this, has anyone ever encountered this problem, or know of

it ever happening to anyone? could this be something big enough to bring to

nikon's attention for a possible service of the camera? comments...

It is a problem with how the firmware in the camera tags (or rather not accurates tags) the

images.

I can't remember, does the D70 set the colorspace to sRGB when you shoot in the "green rectangle" mode?

good point about the green rectangle, or auto mode. it might, but i do not use any of the digi-vari programs on that knob. just Aperture priority.
