I always am amazed at the willingness ( necessity?) for digital folk ( 
applies to computers too) to fool around with the buttons to
get some result.  Isn't this stuff in the manual?  ( Last comment does not 
apply to computers because the computer nor the SW comes
with manuals these days...)

BTW, do you carry the manual around with you, get or make up a set of Cliff 
Notes on the M8, or do you actually remember all this
esoteric stuff?

Wow, hadn't even thought of this, but by playing around you can get  
it to do this.

First, go to the "shooting menu" and set compression to one of the  
JPEG modes (press SET -> Compression -> DNG+JPG fine). Next go to the  
"camera menu" and set Color Saturation to B+W (press MENU -> Color  
Saturation -> B+W). Finally go back to the "shooting menu" and set  
compression back to DNG. You can leave the JPG setting as well, but  
you'll get fewer exposures on a card.
