Dark electronic viewfinder image.
Accidentally I have found the resolution of this problem. Under the SETUP menu, shooting settings, LIVE VIEW DISPLAY it gives you the option of having the LCD screen and the EVF reflect the adjustments you have made or to ignore them and display the scene normally. So now it is set to ignore them and EVF and LCD are the normal brightness.
Thank goodness!
