I like it on my R3, but having played with the Picture Styles I have managed to set up a much more ‘true to life’ view using the standard EVF mode which provides the benefit of Exposure Simulation. It’s not quite as nice but it’s acceptable to me.

Can you share your picture style settings?

From my understanding, a good way to get realistic looking outputs is to set HDR PQ and Highlight Tone Priority enabled. You will get raw and/ or HEIF files only. You can convert them to Jpeg to get photos that will look close to what you saw with your own eyes, but within the constraints of SDR display/ print. You will get exposure simulation as well as realistic looking output, unlike OVF simulation which by definition will not provide exposure simulation. OVF simulation takes the advantage of HDR display, so it cannot show you how the output will look on SDR display/ print.
