p.1 #1colors and white balance on OM-1 II
I'm not completely happy with the way colors come out on my OM-1 II. I wonder if there is a way for me to set up my camera & software so it gives me a RAW file starting point more to my preference. (I do RAW+JPEG but prefer post-processing in RAW).

Color rendition is a complex issue, so I should mention my standard workflow: shoot RAW, import into Capture One, adjust levels, white balance, etc. go from there. (I've experimented with DxO which has its virtues, but I don't like its default settings, also I know CO better and want to stick with it).

I came to M43 from Sony FF (A7RV) and all told I prefer the Sony colors. I find I usually need to increase saturation on the .ORF files, but the greens come out looking over-saturated, too much vibrance. I can adjust the color balance in CO (which is great for that), but it's a lot of tweaking.

I know OM-1 II has options for adjusting its white balance, also default colors (though I'm not clear if adjusting color affects .ORF or only JPEG). Any suggestions for adjusting defaults so I can start with colors more as I like them? Any of you who shoot both Sony and OM have any suggestions?

Thanks!
