Abstract

A method includes detecting, based on sensor data from a sensor on a mobile device, an environmental brightness measurement, where the mobile device comprises a display screen configured to adjust display brightness based on environmental brightness. The method further includes determining, based on image data from a camera on the mobile device, an extent to which the detected environmental brightness measurement is caused by reflected light from the display screen. The method additionally includes setting a rate of exposure change for the camera based on the determined extent to which the detected environmental brightness measurement is caused by reflected light from the display screen.
