In live view what you see is usually what you get, so if the chosen exposure isn't looking good, simply apply exposure compensation or change the settings until the scene brightens sufficiently.

Auto exposure readings can and will differ between the VF and live view because different metering tech is used for each.

If you're still having trouble, please be more specific about the issue.

Make sure exposure compensation is turned off (zero compensation).

To know whether Exposure compensation was ON or OFF, use EXif.
