1DsMarkII & B&W photos

[crp0499]

It seems I recall my 20D having a setting that would allow the camera to capture B&W photos but the user's guide for the 1Ds is silent on the subject. As a matter of fact, black and white is not even in the index.

Do I shoot color and convert on the PC or am I missing something terribly obvious?

Thanks

Yep the 1DsMkII was the last Canon DSLR to come out without a B+W mode, all that money and no B+W mode or pop-up flash or green square. :)

I have found DPP has a fairly good monochrome coversion mode to include tints and filters that is fairly accurate (although it gets really confused if you actually use a green filter.

Do I detect a little dig there?

It took me 20 mins to figure out that to get the 400 on my 100-400 I had to slide the tube OUT!!! On my 70-200 you turn the ring and it does it's thing so I couldn't figure out where in the world everything from 101 to 400 was on the lens!!! I turned on that ring for days and never got above the 100.

Finally, I tilted it up to put the lens cap back on and the weight and gravity just slid the tube out and I was amazed!

Thanks for the answer by the way.

lol they don't call it push-pull zoom for nothing.

the camera has a lot less and differnt functions that you'll be use to. Most of them are becuase it is expected that you know how to do them later on, because photoshop can do a better job than in camera proccessing can

:lol: Shoulda known ahead of time that the lens was push-pull, not ring.

A while ago I had a car and it was very hot so I drived with the windows open.
A colleage of mine asked me why I drove with the windows open.
I told him that in the car it was to hot to drive witout open windows.
He watched at me as if I was a stupid madmen and said that the car
was equipped with an airco. Can you imagine how I feld?

Or the time I had shoot a evening concert wit the camera set on high ISO, lens on 2.8, and a low shutterspeed. The day after I snapped my camera and went out for a shooting. I took about 50 pictures before I had the chance to chimp.
I almost became a heartattack when I saw the pictures I took.

Only the persons who do nothing dont do anything wrong.

Good luck to all of us....
