K5iis Black and White

Camera stared taking black and white photos in every setting but green setting. Not sure what is going on?

Check the jpeg settings. You may have changed to b+w output.

If you can't find the messed up settings try a reset of the camera

I'm assuming you are shooting JPG and not raw, correct?
As Peter said, most likely the jpg output is set to black and white
You can try shooting in raw and see how it looks.
...or, the camera ran out of toner ink...

Sorry, I feel funny today.

I'm sure the colours are just tired and need a rest. :-)

My K-7 can be set to Black & White while shooting RAW and the image previews on the back screen will be monochrome - gosh I felt silly, how did I do that? I can sort that in post (but not if shooting JPEG) because all the data is still preserved in the RAW file. Phew!
