<sRGB v3.0 (Canon)>
An RGB profile is used that is similar to an average profile of most Windows PC monitors. When using a monitor that supports sRGB, you can print colors close to the colors displayed on the monitor.
<Canon HDTV gamma 1.5> to <Canon HDTV gamma 2.4>
When you want a brightness adjustment after making comparison between the printed colors and the colors displayed on the monitor, make a necessary setting here. The higher the value, the darker the printed colors.
