Monochrome images

When shooting my K5 in green mode everything works fine, when shooting in other modes images appear in B & W. There are no digital filters turned on. Do I need to do a factory reset? Thanks.

Check not the filters but preset button, right button on d-pad with wite hexagon on it

Go to the Custon Image settings and turn off B&W. To get there press the button to the right of OK.

The set custom image applies to all modes except Green.

If you are shooting RAW, the photos will be in colour anyways. If it's jpeg, you are stuck with B&W

That was it, the button on the 4 way controller to right of the OK. Thanks very much to all.

It's just great when someone can just come along with the right answer like that.

Usually after I'm ready to throw the thing out the nearest window.
