When I half-press on my R6, especially when the AF point is on a darker spot, sometimes the screen momentarily gets brighter before going back to the correct exposure.
It's difficult to search on Google for this, but I think it's related to how Live View mode works on cameras (vs. DSLRs). I found this regarding the EOS 7D, which might be related:
If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live View image's correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.
It's not related to Exposure Simulation, since it happens even while turned off.
My guess is that the AF system sometimes need to increase the exposure in order to obtain focus, similar to the AF-assist beam. But I am curious to know what exactly is going on and why it only seem to happen in Manual mode.
