I shoot in m-mode. The olympus elp6 showed exactly showed exactly the picture you were about to take. So the image on the screen of the photo you took was exactly the same as before you pushed the button. So when something was completely over or under exposedan it would show completely black or white and everything in between. It didn't have a viewfinder.

Ditto with my E-PL5 and E-P5, but there is always a 3 stop limit either way,

So in M mode change  the settings way up or way down and the preview image only will vary in the range plus 3 to minus 3 stops from the centre correct exposure. Go down below that 3 stop limit and the preview will still look OK and dark, but enough below 3 stops and the resulting image will be black. Live View Boost is off.

Turn on Live View Boost in Custom Menu D and there is no change at all on the screen in live view even though the settings are way out and either way too over or too under exposed. The settings could be 10 stops under or over but the live view looks normal.

Now I adjust my settings everytime after I take the picture and see it on the screen.

Not sure what you mean there.
