Not 100% sure yet, but I think the Sony a6000 may do what you are asking.

Are there any mirrorless cameras that provide exposure metering information while ISO is being set? Every mirrorless I have (P&S or ILC) will not meter during ISO adjustment, so if I want to set ISO last after aperture and shutter speed (which is what I usually prefer to do), I have to adjust blind, as sort of a sad throwback to film days.

Fortunately, my dSLRs don't have that problem, but I'll bet it's more because dSLR viewfinders are intrinsically so primitive compared to EVFs more than any forward-thinking on the part of the manufacturers. Whatever the reason, I'll take it in the dSLRs, but wish I could find a mirrorless that did it.

Both the Olympus E-M5 and E-M1 can meter while adjusting ISO. There are two ways to adjust ISO on these cameras; by flipping the mode switch and rotating a control wheel (which does not meter during ISO adjustment), or using the Super Control Panel to adjust ISO (which DOES meter during ISO adjustment).

I also checked my Panasonic GH3, and cannot figure out a way to do this on that camera. I only know one way to change ISO on that camera, by pushing the ISO button on the top, and that switches off the meter display until done adjusting.

Sony A77 does this.
