I just bought myself a brand new Canon EOS R6 Mark II with the RF 24-105 f4-7.1 kit lens. It's been absolutely phenomenal. However, I have been experiencing a little idiosyncrasy with the EVF/LCD Exp. Sim.
Essentially, when half-pressing the shutter button to meter and lock AF in One-Shot AF, the screen will occasionally become brighter. I have read reports of something similar like occurring on various other forums. However, in those aforementioned instances, it seems like the increased brightness is only temporary to help the AF find its mark before the Exp. Sim returns to normal.
In my case, the increased brightness is constant until the shutter button is released or a picture is taken. This does not affect the final picture (as it does not reflect the increased brightness), and it makes it very hard to accurately judge the exposure before taking the picture. Even the histogram is affected, sliding slightly over to the right.
This occurs in pretty much all shooting modes including Manual. The firmware has been updated to 1.5.0. I suspect it's the exposure being temporarily adjusted to assist the autofocus but not returning to an accurate live view after. I just want to know if this is an issue that warrants fixing, if it's a common thing among Canon cameras/lenses (or maybe just this particular lens), or if it's a setting that's causing this to happen.
I managed to make a video of the increase in exposure when holding down the shutter button halfway and releasing multiple times to better illustrate what's going on. The camera is currently in Manual Mode (without Auto ISO) with Single Point AF and Evaluative Metering.
If not the AF, could something else be causing it? I don't think it's an issue with the metering either, as the metering shouldn't affect the exposure in Manual. Any and all help would be appreciated!
