Answer 1

I have a sony cyber shot DSC-W55 and if I want to take pictures in black and white, I have to change the mode and go to menu. Usually if I looked around it eventually says color something. Look it up on your manual.

Answer 2

In camera you go to the menu , go to creative style and select black and white. Or you can shoot color and change it to black in white in your photo editing software. I would choose the second. You will have more direct control over the output  

Answer 3

Some camera has "black and white" mode-but once it's in black in white, you can't undo it. Better to take it in color and convert it into b & w.

With Adobe Lightroom (version 1.4 shown) http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pook...  you have complete control of the conversion (see arrow at Grayscale mix)
