Eclipse
23 Dec, 2019 by
This is a circuit in a camera that when activated will turn very white areas of the picture into black. An example of this is when an automobile’s headlights are in a scene the circuit will “eclipse” the headlights and render them black leaving only a thin halo where the extremely bright white lights were in the scene. This can be helpful by allowing the remainder of the scene to be captured within the normal range of lighting. The eclipse could be thought of as a powerful backlight compensation for specific points of extreme bright white light.
