At this time of year I often find myself driving with the sun (it is there occasionally!) low on the horizon. If I am driving towards or with it behind me, I find the front and rear camera files have very different levels of exposure and often one of them is very dark. Is there any change of settings I can do or is it just one of those things we have to live with? TIA

If they are getting very dark then it can help to point the camera down towards the road a bit.
Generally I recommend putting the horizon at the 50% height mark, but a bit lower will often brighten the image at this time of year.
However, no camera gives a great image of the road when facing the sun on the horizon, so to some extent we have to live with it for a month or two every year. In the UK they tend to be the most cloudy months, so we only have the problem in unusual years, or on unusual days!
