I've been doing a lot of time lapse with my E-M5 II and I've found that the best setting is to turn the rear screen inwards and only use the EVF and have the Auto Switch for the EVF/rear screen set to ON. I also set the dimming and sleep modes to their fastest time and even turn on the Quick Sleep mode. With this setup the camera turns on the EVF to make each exposure but if you remove your eye from the EVF it will turn itself off in second or two and stay off until it is time for the next exposure. I did a twelve hour time lapse (1 minute interval) a couple of days ago and at the end the battery was still showing a full green.
