Color Mode
The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and white. This must be set before the image is recorded. The color mode is set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus and section 2 of the movie menu (p. 44). The live image reflects the selected color mode. The color mode has no effect on image file size.
Natural Color reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully. This mode uses no monitor indicator when active. Vivid Color increases the saturation of the colors in the scene. Black & White produces neutral monochrome images. The sepia mode creates
