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].
