Thanks

to all for your input. I tried Raw Therapee to no avail. It seems that the 1:1 setting is irreversible, at least without some serious digging. Maybe I should add that I don't absolutely need the ability. I just experimented as the square format intrigues me. Having the view set to 1:1 obviously helped me compose for square but it might be better yet to have some kind of 1:1 frame superimposed on the 4:3 view. As the GX7 doesn't provide that, I'll try to make one to put on top of the screen. Tried Scotch tape. Was too ugly. Maybe try 3D printing for 1st time:-). Example of what I got out of my little experiment:

An obvious case of 1:1

Panasonic's/Silkypix' default idea of B&W seems to be sepia. I happened to like it in this case, so didn't convert to neutral. Also more flattering for people, I've found.
