The auto-adjust mode is selected by typing a "T". When auto-adjust is selected as a real-time option, the computer will use the light level of the current picture as the ideal light level. The light margin is the acceptable level of deviation from the ideal light level and should have been set previously from the MICRONEYE SETUP screen.

After each picture is received from the MicronEye, the computer determines if the light level was within the established bounds. If not, the computer will increase or decrease the exposure time of the next picture to try and get back to an acceptable light level. The auto-adjust mode is intended for applications where the MicronEye is focused on a fixed or semi- fixed scene.
