From: Sylwester Nawrocki Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 10:06:55 +0000 (-0300) Subject: [media] V4L: Add camera exposure bias control X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d58083c949b3d76aba225be9f303ab5dab585064;p=linux-beck.git [media] V4L: Add camera exposure bias control The camera may in some conditions incorrectly determine the exposure, and a manual automatic exposure correction may be needed. This patch adds V4L2_CID_AUTO_EXPOSURE_BIAS control which allows to add some offset in the automatic exposure control loop, to compensate for frame under- or over-exposure.
