????

and if so how do I change the settings to do it?

Best way is to take colour pics with Black & White in mind, and convert them to B & W in post processing

I dont do post processing :D :D

Is that a no then?

Yes you can take B&W photos with a 350D. I took a load with my sisters 350D when I borrowed it last year. It's one of the menu settings somewhere (can't remember!) - I think it's where you can set the saturation, sharpness etc. At the bottom of the colour options, there were some B&W settings - you could even apply differetn settings like Sepia and some filter effects as well - all in camera! I found it best to increase the contrast and sharpness for the B&W settings for slightly better looking results. They looked a bit flat and dull using the standard settings. This was before I discovered post-processing and I now mostly shoot in RAW and convert to B&W if I want afterwards as you have much more control over the finished results. Having said that, we've got some good prints on the walls which were straight from the camera!

Forgive me I didnt realise you could do this on a 350D

Most articles I have seen about Black & White say take in colour and convert later

CS3 has a nifty new wizardry thing for turning colour to B & W now

Gary forgive me if insulting you. On our D80 we found we could only change it to B&W if not in Auto mode (PSA or M); in Auto the menu greyed out.

Manual is useful at times ;)

Menu, parameter, scroll through set to B/W think its the last option.

I never found the auto b&w in-camera to be as good as I hoped. Its certainly b&w but I found converting afterwards to give better results, with the benefit of the original in colour as well.
