Interesting article in the current edition of Outdoor
Photographer Magazine regarding the "Perfect Black and
White". A comparison of sorts between the different
methods and what it takes to get a good looking BW
print. The article mentions getting the most out of BW
during post processing. It also talks about doing BW
in-camera or doing an in-camera conversion to BW.
The writer says: "While most cameras offer
black-and-white in-camera conversion for amazing
prints, it?s generally accepted that it?s best to
shoot in color. In-camera black-and-white or sepia
modes are great for previewing images, but you?re
essentially throwing away information when capturing
that way. Also, digital technology has made
black-and-white conversion as easy or as difficult as
you want it to be, so there?s little reason to take
images only for grayscale use."
I take this to mean that although you set the camera
to BW - if you are shooting RAW the camera doesnt care
what BW settings you are using. The camera just gives
you whatever data the sensor happens to pick up during
the exposure which is mainly color information?!!? If
that is the case - why do manufacturers include a "BW
MODE"?!
