Hi all!
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to tweak the various picture settings to best mimic human night vision? Currently, my new SGGCX2PRO is a little too good on my nighttime commute!
To explain:
I drive in an area that has a lot of severely addled pedestrians who frequently stumble or dart into traffic without warning. I drive VERY carefully, constantly scanning the sidewalks, but I felt I needed a dash cam for protection anyway, should someone ever walk into my car when it's absolutely impossible to brake in time.
Since the goal of my dash cam is to prove to a cop/lawyer/insurance adjuster that an accident was unavoidable, I want the video to show only what I was actually seeing at the time. Right now the video playback on my computer makes the streets seem more brightly lit and visible at night than they actually are in person. I don't want someone looking at the video and saying, "I clearly saw that guy a second before he walked in front of your car - why didn't you?"
I've been tweaking the exposure settings, but it still seems like the streets are pretty well-lit! So I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly, and I'm not totally clear on how bitrate and AE metering might impact the visual image.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
