There's sRGB , IEC RGB and Adobe RGB for jpeg files selectable in camera. Adobe RAW DNG files can be anything you want them to be when opened in decent image editing software.

Here is a link where the differences between sRGB vs. Adobe RGB are discussed. I understood that sRGB and IEC RGB were the same - could be wrong.

Adobe RGB is the largest color space among the options, so is the "best" from a post-processing perspective. Of course, from that perspective, raw is really the best option & unless you have a very obsolete computer set-up, is not significantly more demanding of your time & resources than shooting JPG.

Why? RAW is simpler to use than JPG....

To get the most out of your M8 files, I highly recommend shooting RAW. The jpegs are throwaways.

If you are simply going to view your images on a computer/internet, shoot sRGB. If you intend to print them, shoot Adobe RGB.
RAW is not as simple as shooting jpgs. And there is nothing wrong with shooting jpgs.

Until you get a color balance wrong - then you are in trouble with your Jpg....
