Maybe I Missed It

But is there any way to turn the image to black and white in camera in order to avoid potent problems in post? I've been looking but havne't been able to find it.

Also, I know shooting in black and white is a little more difficult because one has to consider how colors relate to one another when turned to mere shades of gray. Does anyone have a link to something that explains what things to keep in mind so my image isn't overly contrasty or something I don't want? I.e., red becomes very dark, or blue becomes very light or don't put these two colors side by side they'll bleed into one another...something to that extent?

You could set the viewfinder to black & white mode. The camera will still record in color, but at least you'll be able to see what it will look like in black & white.
 
I think you might find that you ultimately have better control over the final look of your footage by doing it in post anyways. It may be a little more work than simply shooting in post anyways, yes, but it can be much more precise. I can't help you with any suggestions though, really. I would think the main thing is to make sure you have good color saturation, nice sharp edges, and don't be too overexposed when you shoot. That will give you more to work with, giving you a wider range of "shades" to work with, I think

If your using the 100a or 100b go to your display set up menu and scroll down to "EVF color," select that and turn it to off.
