Nikon | Imaging Products | PICTURE CONTROL SYSTEM

Gives you monochromatic shadings, such as black-and-white or sepia. You can also select Filter Effects, to create the kind of results you get when shooting with a color filter for black-and-white photographs; and Toning, to adjust the overall tone of images in a way that formerly required working in a darkroom with photographic paper when shooting with film.
Use monochrome shooting to endow your subjects with greater allure.
