Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein improve the appearance of captured video by accounting for light-based flicker and/or other factors affecting the appearance of video captured by a wearable electronic device. Some implementations are used with head-mounted devices (HMDs) that relay one or more front-facing camera feeds to display panels in front of the user's eyes. Some implementations adjust the exposure of one or more cameras of such a device based on assessing the lighting in the physical environment being captured in images/video by the cameras. Camera exposure may be adjusted (e.g., using discrete levels of exposure that are an even multiple of a light flicker rate) to reduce the appearance of flicker from one or more light sources in the physical environment. Whether and how to adjust exposure to reduce flicker may be based on environmental characteristics corresponding to visibility/objectionability of flicker from one or more light sources.
