does the Nikon D90 DSLR have a black and white shooting mode?

I’m looking to buy a Nikon D90 DSLR in a couple of days, and the only question i have about it is weather of not there is a shooting mode on the camera for black and white. i know that i can change pictures from color to black and white on photoshop afterwards, but i would love to have a shooting mode on the actual camera, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about that.

Thanks!

    It does, but better, on page 214 there is an explanation of the cameras retouch menu where you can create retouched copies of the images you take without having to use a computer.

    In the monochrome area, you can create black and white, sepia and cyanotype copies. This will preserve the original RGB image file for use later

    Your better off shooting in colour and converting to B&W in Photoshop or similar. All any camera will do is select the Red channel, which may be what you want, but probably won’t be.

    Converting in Photoshop gives you full control, you can use any channel or blend from various channels. You can vary the levels or contrast locally or globally its up to you. And you still have the colour version if you want it too.

    Shoot in Raw and open in PS in 16bit mode you can really pull these files about and still keep quality. Everything from a thin High Key image to downright ‘Gothic’ on a stormy night and everything in between its all up to you.
