Monitor goes dim on half-press but picture captured is fine

In dim light, when I shoot a picture, on Hal-pressing the shutter button, the image on the monitor goes dim. However if I take the picture it turns out fine. Is there a setting that will avoid this dimming? I can't find one.

 No ..... and this fact is actually mentioned in the Manual.

Is this related to the lens stopping down?

Oh well.  Too bad.

I think this is a major problem for real world use. Leica needs to adress this asap IMO.

It goes so far that when shooting a dark green plant in daylight it is hard to really see the subject. 

I own a TL2 and find this behaviour not acceptable. Leica should offer an option to have exposure preview or not, and both functions should work propper.

At the moment it is a mixture of both and is missing totally the point and advantage of using an EVF.
