Using Exposure Control with Locked Exposure 
With this option, the camera locks the exposure. That exposure level 
remains until you cancel it. 
For example, suppose you are snowboarding on a sunny day. By manually 
setting the exposure level based on your subject's jacket,  the images t\
hat 
you capture throughout the day are based on the jacket. So, they are les\
s 
likely to be underexposed compared to the bright snow.

ISO (Video Only)
ISO determines the camera’s sensitivity to light, and creates a trade\
off 
between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the 
degree of graininess in the image.
In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with grea\
ter 
image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images\
.

e 
effect on your image.
