I have "Live Boost" turned off, but no matter how I set the overall exposure the screen will never display a completely dark screen although the final photo WILL have that appearance. Interestingly, in full Manual mode the screen will go completely dark when the shutter/ISO/aperture settings are set accordingly, i.e., there's no surprises after the fact.
What gives?

The live view only shows exposure to +/-3 EV. After that, iirc, the yellow scale indicator flashes to warn that you have exceeded the visual limit.

You can set an exposure preview, but in that mode it is laggy as heck. If you need to use that, I suggest you set it to a Fn button.

From memory, that's how I recall it works with the G6 anyhow.
