Taking black and white pictures

Most digital cameras cannot take black and white photos. You need to download the photos to your computer and use a photo editing program to convert the color photos to black and white.

The S6100 doesn't have a black-and-white mode as such. You could use the black-and-white copy mode, which is designed to copy whiteboards or print on paper ("Black and white copy", page 70). In addition, you can convert pictures to black-and-white using filter effects in the playback menu ("Filter Effects", page 122).

To turn off the time stamp, tap the bottom tab, tap the wrench icon, then tap "Date". Select "Off" ("Print Date", page 157).

The page numbers are in my copy of the manual. If you need a manual, you can download one from

The SP 800UZ doesn't have a black-and-white or sepia mode. You can convert a color picture to black-and-white or sepia by editing the picture on the camera. Full details are in the "Edit" section of the manual (page 38 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one from the manufacturer's web site at

In general, you're better off converting to black-and-white or sepia using photo editing software on a computer rather than doing it on the camera. The computer will give you much better control over things like brightness and contrast.

A copy is a copy. you get what it sees.

I think you may be successful in scanning the picture to your hard drive, then print it in grey scale.

you can't shoot in black and white but you can take a picture and change it to black and white.after taking your picture use the color edit option at playback.arrow right or left to choose the picture then press the ok button.use the right and left arows again to select desired color and press the ok button again.this will save a seperate image copy of you original only in black and white.

hope this helps.

you might try pulling out the black ink cartrige and putting it back in place

Sounds like you want to do a lot of things with your camera but don't have the manual. You can download one at the support section of the Pentax website.

Press MENU to display the menu, then select the Shooting menu.

The first item should be "Color", which lets you select the color mode. You can choose B&W for black-and-white or Sepia for sepia-toned.

Take a look under "Shooting Menu" in your manual. It's on page 32 in my copy.

Hi Allonsoma,

What the manual doesn't tell you is that you need to change the REC mode first to be able to fint the buttons in MENU.

Fist go into the REC mode (the one above menu when taking a photo). Change this to PGM and click OK. Now go into MENU, on the 3/4 page second button down should be a box with a + in the corner. This is the colour mode option. You can now change to vivid, sepia or black and white.

Hope this helps.

You can change color picture in to black & white as following..
Set camera in playback mode. There is 'Retouch' option in camera Menu. You can make changes in pictures like black and white and save as new file in memory.
If you need user manual, click Sony Support and download copy and go to page-46 for menu items.
