On my EP5 even with Live View Boost Off It only gets so dark (stops at about -3 EV). If I under expose by say 4 stops, of course the actual picture will be dark, but my LCD or EVF does not get any darker than it was at -3 EV. Perhaps that it what he means? I don't know how to get it darker than what it shows at -3 EV with Boost Off, do you Guy?

I don't worry about those things as I tend to always use RAW, expose to the right, then adjust the image brightness later in post process. I never use a camera display to tell me what looks right for an exposure, I use blinkies to aid exposure to the right.

At this stage though I think we need the OP to respond.
