Example embodiments relate to reducing auto-exposure latency. An example embodiment includes a method of reducing auto-exposure latency. The method includes determining, by a processor, a first setting of an exposure parameter for a first frame to be captured by an image sensor. The first setting of the exposure parameter is determined based at least in part on characteristics of a previous frame captured by the image sensor. The first setting of the exposure parameter is determined during a first frame period associated with capturing the first frame. The method also includes initiating, by the processor, a first frame exposure operation based on the first setting of the exposure parameter. During the first frame exposure operation, the image sensor captures the first frame during the first frame period.
