These are the settings I have as a custom setting on my EM5II. I have it on the Mode dial.

Monotone

Sharpness = 0

Contrast = -1

Filter = Orange

Tone = Neutral

Graduation = Normal

Tone Curve S = 0, M = +1, H = +5 (not all models have the Midtone setting e.g. my EP5)

Auto ISO; Auto WB; A = 0, G = 0; LSF+RAW

With these settings it will be very easy to blow the highlights, so you must have the "Blinkies" turned ON.

From the SCP, you can change some of these settings such as the filter colour.

Let me know how you find these settings.

Is the Shadow/Highlights adjustment on the EM10 ii where I would adjust the tone curve? I've reprogrammed the top of the camera button to white balance, but could change it back to Shadows/Highlights if that is where I could apply your suggested settings.

I will definitely try out your suggestions.

Thanks.

Yes, this is how it is adjusted. Press the INFO button to select Shadows, Midtones (if present) or Highlights.

This combination gives black and white photos rather than black and grey.
