Exposure

Now, the dash cam comes standard set to a +0.0 exposure, which is essentially baseline. This level of exposure will account for every day lighting scenarios, bright days, darker days, etc. The exposure and aperture both determine how much light is being allowed into the lens of the camera. So, on a regular, mild day, the standard factory setting will do just fine. The only time you want to adjust your exposure is when there is too little light, or too much light in any given location.
