B&W is about the whites... too much light, and the sensor blows out, and detail gets lost in the white... so you want as much white as you can get without blowin' the sensor and losing detail.....  That means, if we can just get to the point where the white blows out, and then back off...(every sensor being different) then we'd retain all the detail without being lost.In practice, you can set your review screen to chimp the shot, see if the highlights are blown( the flickering) dial down the light (using whatever you like, ISO, Aperture or speed) and then re-take the shot until the flickering just goes away... At that point, your exposure should be right on... And when you convert the RAW to B&W, the whites should be perfect... and the same with the color...</blockquote>
