Gain -- Silly Question?

Hello All:

Okay a very d-u-m-b question about Gain on my Sony cx760v.

Previously I had a Sony HC-3 and it did not have a Gain setting. The cx760v has this setting, but the manual is quite cryptic as to what it does. It measures Gain in "db" which I (foolishly) though was decibels/audio, but I gather it's about light gathering . . .

Don't laugh. Can someone explain or point me in the right direction?

Regards,

Kimberly

I'll have you know that I went to electrocution Lessons!

Grazie

I'm not allowed to eat it, so I call it Marge instead.

Just about every camera, even my $100 Chinavison camera, has Ev Offset, just use that to adjust what the cameras thinks is the correct exposure to suit.
