Hi folks I wonder if anyone could help me?

Yesterday I too a few pics on my digital cam, a Canon Powershot A95, now unfortunately I had it set in black and white not colour. Now I seem to recall that digital camera's store everything (although I maybe completely off track with this) and if so can I "find" the colour version or have I no hope?

Cheers!

I've never heard that the colours can be recovered. But I could be wrong as I've never used b&w mode and my camera doesn't have this function.

I think you might find that it shoots in colour then does the B&W conversion "in camera", however the image stored on the card will always be B&W...

unless you were also shooting in RAW mode - which I don't think that camera can do then I guess you're left with B&W.

Ok folks thanks for the replies, just clinging on to a hope, ah well they do look good in black and white anyway!
