I'm not sure if you were referring to the in-camera histogram when
setting exposures,

There's a histogram??

Good thing I have a PDF manual. In Playback, with a slightly byzantine coordinated working of finger and thumb, I get a histogram that's so coarse as to be hard to use.

No, I wasn't using it.

but that's not unusual behavior. The E-1 will
underexpose most of the time to protect the highlights. It's FAR
better to bring up the exposure in post than the pull exposure in post
with E-1 images. Generally speaking, it does underexpose by a stop in
most scenarios.

I just wandered through the relatively few pix I've taken with so far. Your generalization doesn't hold on this sample. It might be slightly different/darker than later models, but nothing like the at least one stop I experienced with this exposure. With the same settings, the E-400 exposure is slightly lighter than the E-M5 II.
