# Scene Camera Exposure | ||
The [scene camera’s](https://docs.pupil-labs.com/neon/data-collection/data-streams/#scene-video) exposure modes can be adjusted to improve image quality in different lighting conditions. There are four modes: | ||
|
||
- **Manual:** This mode lets you set the exposure value manually. | ||
- **Automatic**: `Highlights`, `Balanced`, and `Shadows` modes automatically adjust exposure according to the surrounding lighting. | ||
- `Highlights` mode optimizes the exposure to capture bright areas in the environment, while potentially underexposing dark areas. | ||
- `Balanced` mode optimizes the exposure to capture brighter and darker areas in the environment equally. | ||
- `Shadows` mode optimizes the exposure to capture darker areas in the environment, while potentially overexposing bright areas. | ||
|
||
::: tip | ||
The mode you choose should depend on the environment. The images below provide an example and some caveats. | ||

|
||
## Changing Exposure Modes | ||
|
||
From the home screen of the Neon Companion app, tap the [Scene and Eye Camera preview](https://docs.pupil-labs.com/neon/data-collection/first-recording/#_4-open-the-live-preview). ![Scene Exposure UI](UI_small.webp) | ||

|
||
## Manual Exposure Mode | ||
|
||
`Manual` mode is recommended when you want to adjust the exposure values manually. This mode provides exposure time between 1 ms and 1000 ms. | ||
