Re: Camera - how to get out of B&W?

In fact, the entire image was B&W. If I point the camera straight up at the ceiling lights a few colors start to emerge.

I played with a few settings via Labview but I couldn't change anything.

Any thoughts? i.e., how do I configure the camera to see in color?
You may want to take a look at this tutorial.
