It sounds like that may be the "Constant Preview" function turned to "on," though I think it only applies when shooting in manual exposure mode.

Yes.

In M-mode, when "Constant Preview" is ON, the screen responds to F-value, shutter speed and ISO.

In M-mode, when "Constant Preview" is OFF, the screen does not react to anything.

In other modes than M, the screen/EVF only responds to exposure compensation (within +/- 3 EV IIRC), regardless of the "Constant Preview" setting.
