I should have noted that only the two exposures that were off from the group were visual. All the ones that were in agreement 1/15 or 1/20 were so dark they were not visual.
I am working on upgrading the firmware right now.

UncleVanya and Stevebrot,
I did a reset, so all settings should be factory settings.
My laptop does not like eyefi and it fails to load sometimes, this is one of those times.
I did the Steve test here; AV mode ISO100 F5.6
View Finder Live View Multi Point 1/20 Center Weight 1/15 Center Point 1/20
Live View MP 1/15 CW 2.5 CP 3.0
Note, focus on a flat blank wall is tough did some in manual focus.
And the Uncle test here; AV mode ISO 100
F5.6 view finder = 1/400 very dark Live View = 1/8 nice picture
F3.5 View Finder = 1/800 very dark Live View 1/15 Nice picture

OK, pictures only got lighter or darker as ISO changed.
UncleVenya, Here are the files
It really seems to be the automatic settings versus manual. If I use any auto setting the exposures are different from live view to view finder. If I use a manual setting and keep the values the same all remains the same from live view to view finder and the pictures look the same. Why would the values Aperture, Time, and ISO all change from live view to view finder when using auto settings?

Forgot to answer Stein question. If I use Scene mode I get simialr results with dark picture with view finder and not dark with live view. Logic tells me its a sensor tied into view finder or software tied into view finder and under automatic settings

Manual Mode test; one sec shutter 1" F3.5 = ISO100 F4.5 = ISO100 F9.0 = ISO 200 F13 = ISO 200 F20 = ISO200 pictures were all viewable and got lighter (More exposed) as I went. Sounds OK. Location is in side house with camera viewing outdoors to sunny bright day.
Then, same location setting; 1/10 F8.0 = ISO200 F14 = ISO320 F20 = ISO640
Seems aperture is working. Seems like sensor with automatic settings and with view finder is telling camera to underexpose.
This is starting to give me a head ache. Chasing my tail.

K-50 camera is new to me. Bought it in used mint condition from amazon. Still in box, but was open. Live view exposure seems to match basically what my eye is seeing. Whereas when the view finder is used the exposure is much darker. The numbers all change as well.
Example is; Put camera on tripod. Use automatic setting. Take a picture with view finder 1/250 F5.6 iso100 Same picture with live view 1/60 F4.0 iso1600
I have read dozens of threads here and elsewhere. I do not have spot meter on, I have run a 3 second shutter test recommended on one thread.
I can take view finder underexposed picture and enhance after the fact to make a decent picture, but it seems that I should not have to go through this effort.
Why the big difference between view finder and live view.
I hope it is my lack of knowledge of this camera, but I have been messing with it for hours and days and this reading this forum and can not seem to figure it out.
