This part of IEC 61966 is applicable to the assessment of colour reproduction of digital cameras used in open computer systems and similar applications.
A series of methods and parameters for colour measurements and management for use in multimedia systems and equipment is applicable to the assessment of colour reproduction.
The standard deals with digittal cameras to capture colour still images and moving images for use in multimedia applications.
The methods of measurement standardized in this standard are designed to make possible the objective performance assessment and characterization of the colour reproduction of digital cameras which can capture colour still moving images, and output colour information corresponding to red - green - blue digital image data. The measured results are intended to be used for the purpose of colour management in multimedia systems, typically in the internet.
This standard defines test charts, measurement conditions and methods of measurement, so as to make possible the colour management in open multimedia systems and comprehensive compararison of the results of measurements for assessment of digital cameras.
Colour control within digital cameras is without the scope of this part. It does no specify limiting values for various parameters.
