Most people shooting with mirrorless cameras shoot with the Exposure Preview on. I've never personally been a fan of it, and I've always turned it off. In my mind, you should just learn to read the damn light meter, to begin with, and not always rely on what the screen says.

One could think that this is an old school way of thinking--but there are lots of performance benefits. If you're shooting with a strobe, for example, there's a great reason to turn exposure preview off. You're usually shooting at a low ISO setting and faster shutter speeds. Plus, the camera won't render what the scene will look like with your strobe output anyway. And for years, folks have used exposure preview as a modern crutch. That isn't a bad thing, it's just how people evolved to use cameras. I still recommend that everyone learn to shoot film and learn the art of Sunny 16. It will make you a better photographer. But all this is the long way of my saying that exposure preview is also messing with your autofocus. . thephoblographer.com
