GH4 How to stop LCD screen automatically compensate exposure?

[petermullett]

I've been trying to figure out how to stop the LCD screen on the GH4 automatically compensating for the exposure, in other words always defaulting to a "normally exposed" LCD image rather than showing in realtime an under / over exposed image. Is this possible, and if so where's the menu setting? I know of course that there's the over/under icon, but would like to see the effect on the full screen image too.
I've tried this on M and P settings without solving this problem, it works fine when using the movie settings, but I've yet to find how to do this when shooting still images……Is this possible?

Are you thinking of the 'Constant Preview' option with the Custom Menu? (Spanner with the 'C')

No Rich, I don't think I am. I can't figure out what that does either. Just tried it out.

What I am trying to find out is if there's a stills shot setting that doesn't allow the LCD or the EVF to automatically compensate for under / over exposure settings. When the GH4 is in "movie" mode that auto setting doesn't function so you can see on the LCD the full effect of under / over exposure, but not so in any stills mode that I have yet found.

Thanks for this info! I dont do much stills and i also dont want the lcd to compensate in stills mode. This works!

Constant Prevue set to ON causes the LCD and EVF to reflect exposure setting changes but ONLY in Manual Exposure mode with the dial on top set to the "movie camera" icon or if taking stills with the dial on top set to "M" for manual.

The key is to be in manual exposure mode.

THANK YOU Bruce……Problem solved.

Thanks from me as well! This had been bugging me for a while...
