EOS R6 - screen

[nicholemcelvain]

Hello, I have a R6 canon camera and I'm needing some help with the screen. I'm going to try and word this the best way I know how. My display screen image in not reflecting the correct final image im shooting. I've never had this problem before. Usually, whatever image is displaying on the electronic viewfinder is the image I end up with after taking the photo. I don't quite know how to look up the solution. Whenver I change my ISO or shutter speed the viewfinder does not reflect any changes. Thank you for any tips!

Hello!

Welcome to the Canon Community!

Can you take a photo or video (with your phone) of what you're experiencing and send it? That way, the Community can see exactly what's going on!

Please re-read your post and see if it needs clarifying. In one place you say the display does not reflect the final image (do you mean what you see in the EVF is different than the rear LCD?). But later you say the EVF is not reflecting changes you make to the exposure settings.

Have you tried resetting the camera settings?

Thank you, John! 
You prompted me to re-read my post, and I realized I also needed to clarify what I was saying! 🙃

Rewording: I see the same thing in EVF and rear LCD when going to take the picture. After I take the picture it appears totally different than what I'm viewing in real-time (like my old DSLR). The "live view" is depicting something totally different than the actual picture after being taken. It's never done this before. I turned it on before a shoot and it did this for the first time. While I'm looking in the live view (both in EVF and rear LCD) nothing changes visually as im adjusting settings. I have no idea what it looks like until after the photo is revealed. Hope that clarifies things.

These photos have two totally different settings and both appear the same when shooting. The last image I took an actual photo with and obviously its extremely overexposed. It's just never done that before. It seems like I've somehow messed up some setting.

The exposure meter appears centered for both images.

It does, but from what I'm gathering, it shouldn't.

I'm tagging in our pro specialist, Ron to see if he can offer advice.

Hi nicholemcelvain,

You may want to check your Exposure Simulation setting.  Its described on page 249 of the manual.  If you have it set to disable, the rear LCD and EVF will show a constant brightness and not reflect the camera exposure.
