Originally posted by stormtech Yeah, I really need to sit down with the manual so I can get that front dial to have a selection for B&W (if it is possible).
It's possible Stan, that is how I do it.
Go to Menu.
Camera 3 menu - top item = Quick Dial
Select by going down to it and pushing the right wheel button (the timer symbol is on it).
You have 4 choices =
Smart Effect
Custom Image
Digital Filter
Aspect Ratio
Choose Custom Image (second choice)
Push the down button on the wheel (the WB button) for each of the 4 choices.
Set each of the 4 choices by using the right and left buttons on the wheel to cycle through the options for 1 of 12 different treatments. B&W is the last choice.
When done hit the OK button.
You then choose which of those 4 (Smart Effect, Custom Image, Digital Filter, Aspect Ratio) you want the button to be operating. When in the Custom Image mode you have 4 different settings (5 really because the dot on the front dial allows the camera to be set through the main menu).
I have Bright, Natural, Vibrant, and B&W as my choices.
Enjoy.
