Hi, do you see the same?
When I'm taking pictures the live image on the screen looks OK, it's bright and I'd be happy if pictures looked like that when saved.
Then I press the shutter, the image freezes (picture taken) and up 'til now the shot still OK - bright.
But when I call it back in the viewer app it's much darker...
I know that brightness is subjective and depends on two things - screen brightness and image brightness level.
It seems that either screen brightness is kicked up by a few notches when the camera app is on (live image when shooting) and goes back to normal when viewing saved pics or the image viewer app renders pictures too dark...
A bit weird..
