The results of that can vary depending on camera hardware and the particular conditions at the time... Some cameras can handle that much better than others.
One test would be to start a video recording with TrackAddict and then move the camera between bright and dark areas, focusing on each for about 5 seconds... You should see the resulting video darken or lighten to adjust to the light level it is looking at. If it does, then it is working normally. If it doesn't, then evidently this particular device and camera is either not supporting auto-exposure, or is giving us an unusual default that doesn't enable it... I have not seen that happen, but not all Android hardware follows the norms or standards, so anything is possible. Just to be thorough, the next app update will include some additional code to help ensure that it's in the correct mode, when possible...
