15.31 --> Brightness issue - opposite behaviour

Nytrax 3 days ago

With the latest FW release (15.31), the brightness does behave exactly the opposite way it should. The latest release candidate (13.35) was perfect!

Now:

Nighttime (after sunset): much too bright and dims after a few seconds
Daytime: too dim in direct sunlight

Please revert to the previous settings or give us the option to set it dimmer in darkness.

Anyone else with similar experiences (especially in full darkness)?

- after sunset
- when in low-light environment

It wasn't even close perfect in 13.37, it was too dim in a dark environment

For me it was pretty good in 13.37. After the 15.31 update it is definitely dimmer in low light and I can see it "hunting" as it tries to find the right brightness for the setting - never saw that prior to the update.
