My phone is normally worse for color gradients and contrasts than my eyes. Also, normally it has worse nightvision.
But when decreasing the shutter speed, for example in OpenCamera, I get crazy night pics.
I see that when its dark my FPS goes down, I see less frames automatically and totally cant control that.
Could this mechanism be altered, to have even less FPS but more photons in the soup to get brighter sight?
Yes, trying to hack my eyes here. “Getting used to darkness” is normally the pupils getting wider, there are quite some interesting plants to do that but I havent heard of anything altering the brains image processing.
Edit
I learned:
- in Nightsight we use the rod cells, which take longer to send a signal. That way they capture more photons, but the “FPS” is lower
- you can trick your iris naturally to stay open, like the Pirates did (some plants like nightshades also do this, applied locally)
More often than you’d think.
When I lived alone while studying, I usually kept only a tiny kitchen worklight on. My friends were always baffled by this when they came to visit.
Once my co-worker asked to borrow my favourite sunglasses. When she put them on, she was still for a moment and then went “MY DEAR GOD, HOW CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING WITH THESE ON?”
The only sunglasses that make sunny days outside enjoyable for me. And yes, they are very dark.
I learned how to handle sun light but I can relate with that so well.
