Viewfinder still a little dark even on Manual

I have my SL set PSAM tp PSA as recommended. Thats when I mount a flash on the hot shoe.  Without using flash I tried Manual setting on the camera and adjusted the F stop on the lens up and down apertures and increased ISO.   When I press the shutter to take the picture I get a quick glance and I see the image brighter but NOT when I focus and 1/2 press the shutter button.  Any suggestions

   Thanks

If I remember correctly, in the studio I had my SL set to PSAM, not PSA, and the EVF showed the view as expected - not dark.  (I've moved to the SL2-S now and I don't have access to studio lights during lockdown so I can't confirm.)
