Color mode

Hi,

I've setup the colour mode on my D7200 and D3500 to Adobe RGB. Should I decide to shoot in auto mode does the colour mode stay as Adobe RGB or does it default to something else (if it changes to something else can I change the default)?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. I didn't take time to check this out, but I am pretty sure that it will not change. The only thing that the auto mode changes is the exposure triangle settings: Shutter speed, Aperture, and ISO. I haven't used "Auto Mode" to see for sure, however.

My D7200 is set to RGB--and I usually use AF-S. I just put my D7200 in AF-A then checked the color mode. It is still set to RGB. Even when the camera is in Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, and Program, the color mode stays the same. If you have U1 or U2 settings saved, be sure the body is set to RGB before saving the settings. Otherwise, it will be the default of sRGB (or whichever color mode is enabled at the time the settings are saved).
 
I think he meant the dreaded "Auto" mode as in not P, A, S or M

Lol--I had to pull out my D7200 to see what you meant. I only use Aperture Priority or Manual mode--never noticed the green Auto mode. :beguiled: Here I always thought 'P' was the Auto mode. But I put it into Auto and looked at the color mode. It is still listed as Adobe RGB. ;) Thanks for the correction, Don. :)

Program is actually a good mode to use sometimes.

Program "P" mode is actually a great mode to use, especially if your camera has both front and rear command dials, as it allows you to control aperture and/or shutter speed at will. I will use Manual "M" at times, but seldom use Aperture "A" mode or Shutter "S" mode as I can get the benefits of either by using the command dials.
