I'm curious though if there are camera menu choices I need to change.
I would say you do not need any changes in menu if you want to shoot RAW exclusively. In case you shoot RAW+ you can use Digital filters. Extract color does not work for mono sensor. Toy Camera (works) - adds 4 types of tonning, Retro (works) can add frame for picture and toning from blue to brown in 7 steps, High contrast (works) has 5 levels, Shading (works) has 4 levels and 7 steps for vigneting, Invert color (works) - does mono inversion (like x-ray), Unicolor bold (does not work on mono), Bold monochrome (woks) - 3 levels of adjustment. All these effects are for JPEG files.
On Monochrome camera you can use ISO Sensitivity Auto up to 25600. In case of right exposition ISO 25600 files are usable.
High ISO NR - OFF
Slow shutter speed NR - ON (Auto)
Live View - Histogram display ON. I always use histogram to see highlights clipping. Or you can use Highlight allert to prevent highlight clipping.
LCD Display Settings: I like slight adjustment of Blue-Amber scale to Amber side (+3) because K-3 has blueish (cold) LCD color in monochrome.
I use Monochrome color profile as well instead of Natural, Bright etc.
White balance - set it as Custom WB using 18 percent gray color.
