Taking photos/videos in black and white on a digital SLR camera?

With Halloween coming up in 6 months, I'd like to do some photos/videos in black and white with a retro Halloween theme.

I have a small Camera I use at Comic Cons etc, some unknown brand I bought on Amazon last year, works pretty cool actually.

However, would there be a setting on any Camera to film or take shots in black and white or would I edit it using software?

Most digital cameras will have a black and white setting. If you don't have the instruction manual for your camera, you could see if you can look it up online to find where to adjust the settings to make it black and white.

But sometimes it's easier just to edit them using a picture editor after you've taken them. With the picture editor or software, you often get more control over what they look like and can adjust the different levels to how you want it.

I did some photography for a while and found that editing it afterwards was the better option for me when I wanted black and white, but it can be a personal preference really ☺️

The little camera did come with a manual, but it's so tiny that even with me glasses on I can't read it.

What sort of camera is it?
