I have some questions :
1.how does the Exposure compensation works? is it very uncomfortable to reach this function ( I understand it must be accessed through menu with a number of clicks ?)

2.Does the Auto ISO function works also with manual focus lenses or it's only with the E mount dedicated lenses?

3.Does the handheld twighlight mode works with the manual lenses also ?

4.but the sweep panorama ?

5.What mode do you prefer to use on nex with manual focus lenses (M , P, A ) ?

Exposure is very accurate I didn't use it yet.

Works with manual lenses well. All of my digital camera did it with MF lenses.

With manual lenses I always use 'P' - with fixed ISO it works as an aperture priority - you set the aperture manually and the camera calculates the shutter speed.
The ISO is set by just 1 click - (center wheel) and if needed you can compensate. Usually i use -1/3EV as i find the metering not very accurate. Also with the fast lenses there is a difference in metering between wide open and closed down - so the compensate function is very handy.

The Exposure compensation is just one click (down arrow).

Auto ISO works but doesn't change until the shutter speed drops till 1/30 - so not really useful with manual lenses. I prefer to set the ISO manually up one step if i see that the speed is dropping below 1/100.

Hand-held twilight mode and panorama mode are with fixed ISO and shutter speer. Particularly the panorama is not good if it's getting too dark. The twilight mode can save some shots when it's getting dark but don't expect too much - tripod is a much better option.

Both modes are just a gadgets .. not of real use for me.
