Greetings all,
A buddy of mine is letting me hang on to his D70 since he really doesn’t use it, and so I’m trying to jump into the digital realm and learn its functions.
Even on my cameras that have a B&W setting, I never use it. The camera records much less information in the B&W mode than in color. My suggestion would be to shoot RAW and then convert in the computer after.
As for the conversion, never go straight from RGB to grayscale. Again, you loose alot of information and colors like red and blue look identical in B&W.
