You can't select AdobeRGB profile as input color profile because it isn't an 
input device class profile: it's a display device class one.

Have you tray to find an input color profile for your camera model?, you could 
find it in software for windows whichs is packaged with the camera itself or 
from Bibble Pro, you can download a trial version of this app and play with 
the icc profiles it install.
