[QUOTE="anoutsos, post: 840368, member: 65359"] Hi all. I have just bought a Nikon Z5II, my first Nikon Z camera, and I am bit confused about the behaviour of the EVF. I have used Nikon DSLRs for over 15 years, and in my experience the viewfinder did not change brightness every time I moved from a bright area to a darker one and vice versa. It seem that the Z5II EVF shows me a preview of the exposure. Is it possible to turn this feature off? I have my camera set to Aperture-priority, manual focus, and the "d9: View Mode (Photo Lv)" setting to "View-[camera icon]". I tried the other setting, "View-[eyeball]" but it still changes the brightness. Am I missing a setting elsewhere? My aim is to try an see if I prefer the EVF emulating an optical viewfinder, i.e. just showing the real brightness of a scene but calculating the correct shutter speed without any previewing in the EVF.
