So if I where to turn it off and fix the noise...

    Monochrome in camera and White balance setting?

    Does one need to worry about white balance, when taking a Black & White photo in camera? From all of the books that I have read, there seem to be no mention on white balance.

    Light through the camera view finder.

    My question is, would there ever be a time that when metering or take a pic it would be justified covering up the view finder? I realize that on a sunny day or even for that matter a overcast day, the amount of light entering the camera through the view finder and hitting the sensor would not...
