Ron -- when in auto on aperture, the camera chooses the correct aperture to make the exposure "correct."  to see the EVF darken or lighten, you turn the dial on the top at far right, the exposure compensation dial.  you will see the results in the EVF.  
 
don't know why you were subject so such a snarky answer from the other person.

X-T1. 23mm f 1.4 (NON WR)
 
I was photographing in the rain in Washington DC.
 
I had been warned of an approaching thunderstorm. I'm not from the east coast and didn't realize how suddenly and violent these things can be. In a matter of seconds it was suddenly like standing under the shower with a 50 MPH wind. Even dropping to my knees under the umbrella did nothing.
 
However, I was having a fun time. All excited. I was only 100 feet from the hotel lobby (DuPont Circle).
 
I knew my camera was getting soaked but I thought it would be ok.
 
In two seconds I was totally soaked. I stayed out shooting for another five minutes.
 
In the hotel I noticed the viewfinder display had condensation on it.
 
At this point I should have REMOVED THE BATTERY.
 
I did not.
 
The camera functioned for the next few minutes as I chimped pictures. Then it died. It never came on again. I tried drying it in rice etc. No good.
 
In the end it was "beyond economical repair" and I got an insurance payment from my camera homeowners "rider policy".
 
(FYI normal homeowners insurance doesn't cover loss outside of the home. Go figure. Outside of the home is extra $$$).
 
In the end I got a shot I like a lot. I got insurance money for my X-T1. I learned to adjust to life with a single X-T10. I learned non WR lenses are NON WR. It was my own fault. Fuji never claimed the X-T1 and 23 f1.4 are WR.
 
I want the 23 f2 WR.

The x-t1 is an EXCELLENT camera, especially if you're a "Newbie."  Try to find one used, and take tons of photos over the next year. Then, if you feel you must, upgrade to XT2.  I'm a pro... have 2 xt-1s and a bunch of lenses.  I'm going to upgrade to the newer body because the larger files will in fact be welcome, especially when it comes to printing double-page magazine spreads, or cropping a vertical out of a horizontal (blame art directors for this, not me!).
 
You can put the money you save toward one of Fuji's super-sharp better lenses.
 
 
my two cents!
