Hi!
I'm trying to get in my video pipeline as sharp images as possible. By default it has auto exposure. I know I can give it some explicit exposure and ISO.

ctrl.setManualExposure(10000, 1600) # 10ms shutter, 1600 ISO

But it does not suits to changing litght conditions. Is there some way to tell camera, I'd like to decrease shutter but I'd like to let the camera choose other attributes?

In the documentation here, I've found "EXPOSURE_COMPENSATION". Is this what I need?

I also found this issue with helpful description.

But I still dont know exactly how to set EV -1 to my camera in my device pipeline.

Can you please point me to some code snipet?
Thanks

Hi @austy246
EXPOSURE_COMPENSATION will brighten/darken the image on top of what the AE algo thinks it's good.

You can also try with setAutoExposureLimit and setAutoExposureLock (ref).

This should (afaik) keep the exposure time at some value, but allow the camera to set other attributes.

Thanks
