Reframing after focus studio Sony a7ii

[justingodbout]

I'm having a issue in the studio with my sony a7 ii.
When I shoot in studio I'm having a issue with the reframing after I focus on the eyes.
Lets say my setting is, f8 1/200s iso 100, the camera show me completely dark.
When I half press the shutter, the camera lights up to be able to focus. Then, it goes back in the dark and I'm can't reframe properly.
Does anyone as a solution, thanks.

I hope you have got this figured out about now. If not, you need to turn the live view display "setting effect" off.
