I drove around in circles with the sun blasting directly into the camera. AE is behaving nicely, so far so good.
Considering my long time discouraging experiences with the GC I want to see how it performs in the challenging scenarios I’m so familiar with in my daily driving and that were really the primary impetus for this firmware update in the first place such as traveling in and out from under canopies of trees, so I’m sure you’ll understand why I’m reserving my judgement. I think customers should be afforded the opportunity to evaluate firmware updates in their own time and manner rather than have impressive looking, cherry picked images presented to us by a retailer affiliated with a manufacturer.
Curiously, considering the actual reasons for the firmware AE fix-its in the first place, why didn't you post the "sun blasting directly into the camera" shots rather than the above one? Come to think about it, the "sun blasting directly into the camera" was not really the problem, per se. It is high contrast/high dynamic range scenarios with dark and light areas within the FOV as well as transitions from flat lighting into brighter lighting. That's what we need to see.
