Taking pictures originally in black and white can save you time in editing.
Shooting in black and white requires a different use of light, lenses and effects to create truly memorable pictures. Digital photography is still a developing art form, but most cameras now come with a shooting mode that will allow you to take photos in black and white without placing color photos into photo editing software. The only drawback is that you won't have a color original to refer back to.
Instructions
1. Push the menu button to open your camera menu. Scroll through the options until you come to shooting mode. Click the "OK" button.
2. Select the black and white option to change your camera's settings from color to black and white. Shoot a picture just to make sure it's working.
3. Click on the menu again and select the ISO settings. Adjust the ISO as low as possible to create a clearer, sharper picture.
4. Experiment with different shots to practice balance, composition and lighting with your pictures.
