I've noticed while going through some of my recent sunrise photos that the E-P1 really doesn't handle the gradiation in the sky very well, clipping it out to white when it really shouldn't be. Any tips for avoiding this?

Clipping = overexposure. Just dial it down with the exposure compensation. If that makes everything else too dark, try Gradation = AUTO.

Experiment with the different color filters. It actually works. The sunset preset on the nex 5 looks like a 14 bit color file.

That's the thing, I'm not talking about clipping with overexposure, just simply the gradiation between certain color layers. Most noticeable in fog where it "shifts" from a grayish to a bluish color if you have any kind of contrast. I'll see if I can post an example of this.
