auto exposure
Automatic brightness control
Auto exposure is a camera setting that automatically adjusts shutter speed, aperture, or both to achieve proper exposure for the available light.
The camera's meter reads the scene and makes decisions the photographer would otherwise handle manually.
Most smartphones and point-and-shoot cameras default to auto exposure, while professional photographers often override it for creative control.
