Hello, I am a newbie to both my M240 (love it) and this forum. When I set camera to save both raw and jpeg (BW) I only can see the jpeg image and can't figure how to toggle to the RAW (color). Any simple way of solving this or is the default always to the jpeg (BW) and that's life? Thanks

No camera can display a raw file, but only an image developed from the raw data. In this case the image developed in-camera happens to be in black&white since that is what you had selected. A raw converter could create a colour version from the same raw data, though.

thanks for explanation-- does that mean I could have the primary image displayed as the raw one (and not jpeg (BW). If so how do I do this in settings? Previously when I only shot RAW (single image and no duplicate in jpeg) the display of course showed the Raw in color. Thanks

Read Michael's post - it does not show a raw image - it shows a jpg developed from the raw data, which ( the jpg) you happen to have set to B&W, hence it is B&W.

If you want the camera to produce a colour jpg, you will have to set it to colour jpg. Raw files are not displayable without developing.

Obviously the DNG (aka raw) file will have all data included, so you can play around to your heart's content in your postprocessing.

Hi and please forgive my lack of imprecision in the initial question. If I want to shoot raw and BW (jpeg) can I view the image in color (jpeg) while simultaneously be making the dng and bw (jpeg)? This was a recommended setting from Overgaard so you can review both images later quickly in color and BW and decide if it is worth keeping one or the other. Thanks

I'm sure I have read on here before that you can set

the lcd screen display to black & white, mine is colour.

How do you do this? I have looked in the manual and

gone through the menu several times and cannot find

it. Getting concerned that my brain is failing me.
