Both options are capable of capturing hyper-detailed images, all in shades of gray. Monochrome-only cameras lack Bayer filters altogether, and some multipurpose mirrorless cameras have “true” black-and-white modes that sidestep color encoding.
True monochrome shooting offers a solution: Light is directly recorded on the sensor rather than filtered by a Bayer mosaic, the traditional digital color encoding technology. However, because of the way most camera sensors encode light-and in turn color-both processes tend to rob the image of crispness and depth.
To take black-and-white or monochrome shots on most conventional digital cameras, you’re forced to pick between two imperfect options: You can turn on monochrome shooting mode, which often just re-filters the color in black and white, or you can color-correct your pictures in postproduction. When it comes to monochromatic digital cameras, seeing the world in black and white isn’t a fault-it’s an asset.
