Abstract
A method and arrangement of controlling the attributes of a camera display is disclosed. The method and arrangement obtain information relating to a scene and detect a sensitivity value associated with a camera. Using this information, at least a brightness of the camera display associated with the camera is controlled in accordance with the obtained information and the detected sensitivity value.
Claims20
A method of controlling attributes of a camera display, comprising:
- obtaining information relating to a scene;
- detecting a sensitivity value associated with a camera;
- and
- controlling at least a brightness of the camera display in accordance with the obtained information and the detected sensitivity value.
An arrangement for controlling a camera display, comprising:
- an exposure algorithm element capable of calculating exposure information of a scene and obtaining a sensitivity value associated with a camera, the exposure algorithm element further capable of calculating a brightness level using the exposure information and the sensitivity value;
- and
- a memory element connected to the exposure algorithm element, the memory element having stored therein at least one reference brightness level used for comparison with the calculated brightness level and to assist in setting at least one attribute of the camera display.
A method of controlling attributes of a camera display, comprising:
- obtaining information relating to a scene;
- detecting a sensitivity value associated with a camera;
- and
- controlling at least a backlighting of the camera display in accordance with the obtained information and the detected sensitivity value.
