Whether you are using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, both offer a variety of Picture, Creative Styles, or Picture Control options. An option in many cameras is the Black and White setting, which allows you to see a monochrome translation of the scene rather than having to visualize it. This helps you to decide whether the scene is suitable and rearrange the frame accordingly.
Here, the biggest concern is losing the color image due to this style setting. Ending with a monochrome frame isn’t ideal and is a big limitation when the client’s expectations change. What often gets forgotten is that when shooting B&W in RAW format, the camera records the frame’s color information.
