Marco. If I may ask, what settings did you end up with for better colors?

I found that the default setting with AUTO was producing some very slight color tones that I didn't appreciate because they were cooler (with more cyan) than I was used to. Below were the settings I used for the pictures. Note that I now leave my camera in [User Defined 1] setting.
.
For inside the National Art Gallery, I used [FINE DETAIL]. It was specifically created for this sort of photography.
.
For shots taken on the road I used [LANDSCAPE] because it allegedly offered more vivid Blues and Greens.
.
For most shots (including outdoors) I used [User Defined 1] with the following settings.

  • [Sharpness Strength] = 3
  • [Sharpness Fineness] = 3 (middle)
  • [Sharpness Threshold] = 4
  • [Contrast] = -1 (minus one)
  • [Saturation] = +2
  • [Color Tone] +1

After searching thru the menus and almost giving up, I finally found the spot where I could set the values you've given above. I got the M5 and assume the values will work well in it as the two cameras seem to be identical except for the viewfinder and the extra dial of the M5. Thanks Marco. I learn a lot just from reading your articles.
