Why doesn’t my Canon EOS M50 preview exposure changes, and what does the DISP icon mean?

On my Canon EOS M50 in photo mode, changing settings like ISO does not change the brightness in the live view preview. There is a DISP icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. I don’t want to reset the camera—what setting should I change to make exposure changes show on the display again?

This is the "Exposure simulation" setting (on my EOS 70D, in the first menu with the "Camera back" icon). When you have "DISP" it is disabled.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The DISP icon indicates that exposure simulation is turned off. When exposure simulation is disabled, changes like ISO, shutter speed, or aperture may not be reflected in the live view brightness preview.
To fix it, go into the shooting menu and turn Exposure simulation back on. On Canon cameras this is typically found in the photo shooting/live view settings menu. Once enabled, the screen should preview your exposure changes again instead of showing a non-simulated display.
