It's something I've never explored because I can't see a use for them in my style of shooting.

About 90% of my images are made using Aperture Priority, about 9% using Manual mode, and the remaining 1% maybe with Shutter Priority.

Typically, I pick an ISO for a session or group of images, select an aperture for the subject at hand and use exposure compensation (which on an E-M1 changes the shutter speed when in Aperture Priority mode) to help me wring the most signal out of the situation without clipping important highlights.

I don't see how Mysets would improve my workflow. Perhaps I'll learn something by reading other responses in this thread.

Well, here is an example of what I use one of the custom settings for...

I have a custom B&W mode that sets the camera to monochrome, sets the contrast, sharpness, WB, colour filter, tone curve, face detect and auto ISO. It also sets raw + jpeg for out of camera B&W jpegs. All of this is assigned to one position on the mode dial.

So, just by turning the dial, I have a custom B&W camera.
