Hello,

Many users in your situation tend to take their photos in colour and then convert them to black and white afterwards. One advantage of this is that by using software such as irfanview, you can adjust the results and add all manner of other effects as well.

Irfanview is available to download, free of charge, from here. Although it is slightly more time consuming than having the feature built into the camera, the results are excellent and completely in your control.

Thanks
