Caps18 said:Like a lot of other people have said, it is better to get a preview in real-time of what it looks like in B&W.
And if you take hundreds/thousands of photos while on a vacation, how will you remember which ones you wanted in B&W when you get back to your computer?
And what if you decide you want them in Color?
I tried setting my 5D MK II to monochrome and RAW, and held it up to my eye, but the image was still in color. Then I snapped it, and the image appeared in monochrome on the lcd.
Then, I imported the Raw image into lightroom.
Since the import module shows the small jpeg thumbnail imbedded in the image, it was monnochrome, but when the image was imported and converted, it was color.
If you shoot Raw + jpg in the monochrome mode, you will get a monochrome jpeg and a color raw, but I do not see a big advantage.
