# automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor A Boolean value that specifies whether the session should automatically use wide-gamut color where available. ``` var automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor: Bool { get set } ``` ## Discussion All devices and formats support capture in the sRGB color space. Some devices and formats can also capture in the P3 color space, which includes a much wider gamut of colors. Wide-gamut capture is appropriate for only certain capture workflows, so this property controls automatic configuration for those workflows. When this property is (the default), and your session configuration is appropriate for wide-gamut capture: - If you use a session preset other than [`inputPriority`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession/Preset/inputPriority), the session automatically sets the device’s [`activeFormat`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/activeFormat) property to one that supports wide-gamut capture, and sets the device’s [`activeColorSpace`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/activeColorSpace) property to a wide-gamut color space. - If you manually choose a capture format (thereby setting the session to input priority), the session automatically sets the device’s [`activeColorSpace`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/activeColorSpace) property to a wide-gamut color space only if your chosen format supports wide-gamut capture. For information about which devices and session configurations automatically enable wide-gamut capture, see Wide-Gamut Capture in [iOS Device Compatibility Reference](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40013599). > Note: > When this property is , and your session configuration isn’t appropriate for wide-gamut capture, session presets other than ``doc://com.apple.avfoundation/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession/Preset/inputPriority`` may choose a capture format that doesn’t support wide-gamut capture. Set this property to if you want to directly change the value of the capture device’s [`activeColorSpace`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/activeColorSpace) property (regardless of whether you configure your device with a session preset or by directly setting a capture format). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
