Canon Rebel XTi - Black and White problem!

[barnaby_harding1]

<p>Hi!<br>

I have been using a 400d (XTi) for a couple of weeks, but keep ending up with B&W shots - am I hitting a button with my face when I look through the viewfinder? I don't have the instructions at present so can't look this up. How do I switch back to colour when this happens? Please help!<br>

Many thanks in advance<br>

Barnaby</p>

<p>My guess is you are probably accidentally changing picture styles to black and white. That's the function of the "Set" button in the middle of the cross keys on the camera back. Here's a link to the instruction manual. Look at page 64 and pages 78-82.</p>

<p>Shoot in RAW, Barnaby - then it won't matter what Picture Style the camera happens to apply.</p>
