40/60 Rule

[azchrisf]

I know this is a night shot, but is this adjusted properly for the 40/60 rule?

 

[wozzzzza]

id be happy with it.

40/60 is a good starting point but not something you must do, if you find adjusting a bit either way works better for you then go for it

With a bonnet like that I'd move it up a bit.

I never thought much about that "rule", I just point the camera to where it records what I want it to "see". I don't think anyone should be bound by some unwritten rule when it comes to aiming a dashcam.

Is that snow on your hood, or am I seeing things?

looks like dashboard texture reflection

Or bright pixels. (oops, don't mention the pixels).

Ahh yes, see it now.

Or bright pixels. (oops, don't mention the pixels).

Yes always the possibility of 700,000 bright pixels being the culprit

60/40 split seem to be less of a issue with cameras based on the IMX322 sensor, i support the experiment to you drop crowd.

60/40 is more of an AE table thing rather than sensor type, I'd say

A little bit of both

due to the dynamic range?

If it was a Mobius I'd say it's something else.

 

[jokiin]

due to the dynamic range?

Some sensors are impacted more than others by this

Always with the mystical answers

I have a Velour Dashmat, it reflects kinda odd looking to the camera.

I have a "brushed suede" dash mat. I spray painted it with ultra flat black Rustoleum Camouflage paint. I thought it would look hideous but I figured it would get rid of any residual reflections from the mat. It came out looking terrific and works so well I don't even need a CPL anymore.

In my vehicle with the SG9665GC the traditional 60/40 rule has been a major headache as exposure has been kind of a moving target with this camera.

 

[azchrisf]

Interesting.
Going to be selling the car in a year or two, so I'm not going to bother with a standard dashmat, don't know if spraying it with something would do any good.

Unfourtnanetly the white blowouts and reflection handling are a major headache for me. Alot of IQ work needs doing yet.
The camera does not handle our strong sun here well I guess, even with a CPL.
