composing/focusing if you want, but before shooting, dial it back down to 100 or 200
(without changing the aperture or shutter speed of course).
There are lots of threads about this new paradigm here on dpreview. Hopefully camera
makers will start to give us firmware and camera designs that take advantage of the iso-
less nature of the modern sensors. For example, the camera could meter and raise the iso
while shooting so that the view in the lcd is equal to what the cameras jpg engine will be
capturing, but the raw file itself will not have any iso change done to it and instead will
just have the amount of 'steps' recorded as metadeta so if we want we can set our raw
converter to go ahead and automatically recover that brightness on import (without
clipping any highlights).

Why shoot RAW Monochrome?

If your DSLR or smaller digital camera works like my Olympus XZ-1, you can have the
best of both worlds -- color and B/W -- by shooting RAW images with your camera set to
Monochrome mode.
You can see the actual B/W image on the LCD screen as you compose it... making it very
easy to work with contrast, tone, and structure. Pure form. Later, you can save that RAW
file image as either a B/W or full-color JPG or TIFF, and edit it any way you please.
Unless I'm wrong, this is a tremendous technical breakthrough. One that most
photographers don't yet comprehend -- at least not in recent photo magazine articles
about B/W photography, where they are still advising people to take the image in color
and convert it to B/W later. Backwards!
If you love black-and-white, but maybe held off because in the past you couldn't also get
the color image, your time has come. Shoot all the B/W pictures you want, and the color
will still be there if needed. But in the meantime, you'll enjoy the indescribable luxury of
seeing that B/W image in all its glorious grays as you compose it -- and you'll never have
to worry about 'visualizing the B/W image' ever again.
