what setting?

It sounds like you've altered the exposure compensation to under expose or you've got it in manual and aren't adjusting the shutter to the correct exposure. Not much help but not knowing about sony cameras I wouldn't know where to adjust them.
Most dslrs have auto settings for landscapes and portraits... have you got a manual for it. Sorry this isn't of much help.

Hi Hayley,
If you have a look at the camera manual guide it should explain what each setting means and how to adjust the shutter to suit each picture that you are taking. Or if this doenst work then it could be a good idea to have a look on their website

Hayley, while you're trying to get to grips with things, put the camera on P.
This is an underrated mode, because some folks believe it prevents you from making creative adjustments, but it does not. Put it on P, with the exposure compensation set to zero, and evaluative metering mode, say ISO400. This will always get you a decent result, or at least as good as you can get in terms of exposure, depending on the light.
If the image is too light or too dark, then adjust it with the compensation dial. If you want to get creative, then you can use the exposure shift control to get a faster/slower shutter speed (to freeze/blur movement) or a higher/lower aperture f-number (eg for more/less depth of field). This will give you as many crreative options as the light will allow. If you still can't get the shot you want, then adjust the ISO, use flash etc.

^^ Agreed - the P-setting allows you to concentrate on getting the composition right without having to worry about exposures.
Once you're happy you can frame an image decently, then step-up and start fiddling with exposure settings.
