Scene Camera Exposure ​

The scene camera’s exposure can be adjusted to improve image quality in different lighting conditions. There are four modes:

  • Manual: This mode lets you set the exposure time manually.
  • Automatic: Highlights, Balanced, and Shadows automatically adjust exposure according to the surrounding lighting.

TIP

The mode you choose should depend on the lighting conditions in your environment. The images below provide some examples and important considerations.

Changing Exposure Modes ​

From the home screen of the Neon Companion app, tap the Scene and Eye Camera preview, and then select Balanced to reveal all four modes.

Manual Exposure Mode ​

Allows you to set the exposure time between 1 ms and 1000 ms.

TIP

Exposure duration is inversely related to camera frame rate. Exposure values above 330 ms will reduce the scene camera rate below 30fps.
