Custom AE mode

Feature RequestToolPhotoVideoNew Feature

The natural sensor readout from a single exposure results in overexposed areas as being blown out. I can do a decent job exposing for highlights with the histogram + EV offset, but having a highlights priority mode would be nice, something I loved with my Ricoh GR digital camera

    I’ll acknowledge it's not straightforward, for example if you have the sun in your frame there’s only so low-exposure you can go, and going that low is gonna result in almost no other info being saved. Maybe you can use some heuristic, like <3% of the exposure containing 95+% IRE, or something a bit more complex than that (because you also don't want the reverse case of exposing everything too high if there aren't any substantial highlights)
