Metering Mode - Sony ILCA-77M2 Use Instructions

Based on the exposure value set by auto exposure, you can make the entire image brighter
or darker if you adjust [Exposure Comp.] to the plus side or minus side, respectively
(exposure compensation). Normally, exposure is set automatically (auto exposure).
1. Press the exposure compensation button.
2. Select the desired setting using the right/left side of the multi-selector.
Note
You can adjust the exposure in a range of −2.0 EV to +2.0 EV for movies.
If you shoot a subject in extremely bright or dark conditions, or when you use the flash,
you may not be able to get a satisfactory effect.
When you use [Manual Exposure], you can compensate for the exposure only when [ISO]
is set to [ISO AUTO].
