The sensor is the same, so the RAW output should be, too.

The jpeg engine might work a little differently. Differing settings for jpgs are also possible. If you've used your E-P5 with the standard settings you could do a factory reset on your E-M10II.

You could have a look at the two cameras in the studio scene comparison tool:

That's what I'm wondering, if the jpg engine has been tweaked by Olympus.

Note that I should have made it clearer that there is not a strong blue cast, as if WB was different. Just enough of a blue cast that when I correct the whites to proper white, and do a basic edit, and then compare the before and after photo, I say "Wow, that original had quite a lot of a blue tone to it, and was lacking in contrast, which I didn't realize at first." I don't recall thinking that with the EP5.

I have the E-p5, and believe its a white balance issue in some interesting bright light conditions which causes the blue cast/tint. It usually occurs in bright light, not always shooting into it. Often it should be more orange and glowing but as the light is a bit strange, like maybe low and through trees the WB gets its wrong.

Its not just in jpeg though, i noticed this when editing raws, now when i come across this blue tint, i hit auto white balance in a raw developer and adjust from there.

Maybe what your experiencing.

If you see it in all conditions then that doesn't sound right. Reset your camera.

If its just artificial light, well then maybe its just fine, no camera i ever tried can nail all artificial light.
