EV COMP
Exposure Value Compensation affects the brightness of your videos or photos. Adjusting this setting can improve image quality when shooting in environments with contrasting lighting conditions. The available setting range is -2.0 to +2.0; a higher value results in a lighter image.
? PRO TIP: Exposure Value Compensation adjusts brightness within the existing ISO limit. If brightness has already reached the ISO limit in a low-light environment, increasing the Exposure Value Compensation will not have any effect.

ISO Limit
ISO Limit adjusts the camera's sensitivity in low-light environments, creating a balance between brightness and image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess in the image. In low light, higher ISO values result in a brighter image but with greater image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise but darker images.
