Olympus FE-320?


I just got the Olympus FE-320 camera and I really like it. However, I can't figure out to take black and white/sepia photos.. Please help if you have this camera :)

Thanks Chris :) But i would really like to edit them on my computer.. Since if i want to take 40 pictures B&W its going to take me a long time to convert them to B&W.. Anyone know how to take B&W pics with this camera?

screwdriver is right

Look at this link.

You will see that there is no mention of a black and white option on your camera.

Since until we actually look at our images on a large screen, we don't really know which photos are "keepers". Pick the best of the 30 or so shots and then using the desaturation tool and level tool to adjust the black threshold, white threshold and mid-tone adjustment and convert them to black and white.

Not only is this process the best way to produce black and white images from digital files, the control you have over each one will convince you it is probably the best way to produce high quality black and white prints for you too. It is still faster than printing a black and white image in a darkroom using a negative.

Olympus does not put any color options on their cameras. Instead, they put these options in the Olympus Master software the comes on the CD with your camera.

OM2 doesn't allow you to batch edit JPEG images (edit multiple images at once), but applying BW is fairly easy. Just put all of the images you wish to edit in one folder, navigate OM2 to that folder, edit the first image (enter edit mode and use Monochrome / Sepia), apply the setting, and repeat with the next photo on the lower filmstrip. Fortunately, there are other programs available that make it easier and with more options.


Follow Up:
You want, yes. But if your camera can't offer the only option left is to buy a new camera. I'll reiterate:

No Olympus point & shoot cameras have color effect options within the camera.

Don't convert to B&W in camera, it's better to convert in Photoshop or similar from a colour picture, you have more control that way and get much better results.
