... for the exposure only, you can try "Match total exposures" from the settings menu.

However, that's exposure only and your mileage with this automatic may vary quite a lot and not meet your expectation.

Another trick is to hit the "auto" button on both. It will usually get them close in cases such as this.

I want to get image ( 2 ) like ( 1 )

Yeah only way is as @D Fosse indicated. Put image 1 in reference mode and adjust manually until it matches. For this all it needs is likely a bit of negative exposure and increased contrast. No automated way.

One is in neutral shade, the other in some kind of directional light from the right. Either the sun came out, or it's closer to a window.

 

There is no preset or any kind of automatic procedure to account for different lighting. That changes all the internal relationships. You have to use your eyes and compensate as well as you can.

 

In this case I think I would just brush in a few Highlights adjustments to bring them down a bit in #2, and a bit more work on the cyan jumper/tie. A little darker on the right side, a little less cyan.

 

Don't overdo it! To be honest, I don't think you should make a big deal out of this. If you try to "micro-match" these in detail, you'll only get yourself into much bigger problems.

 

Cyan saturation is too high overall. Look at the hair on #2! This is a very common side effect of mixed lighting. I'm guessing there's room light, and then bluish daylight from a window.

 

Next time, if you don't want to get it professionally done with flash units, turn off the room light and face them towards a big window(s), and do it on an overcast day. Natural light is hard to control.
