We have looked at the MediaTrackCapabilities and as far as we can see, it is not possible to read the values (from the auto focus/exposure process) without setting them first. What we are trying to determine is the ambient brightness of the environment. We do this in our native apps by reading these camera values after letting the camera auto expose (as this process is effectively calculating the ambient brightness to correctly expose the image) but unfortunately we cannot do the same in our web app. The other option is to access the reading from the ambient lighting sensor (for devices that have them) and good progress was made in making this available in Chrome but it seems to have stalled. I gave a more detailed description of our use case in that discussion: https://github.com/w3c/ambient-light/issues/13#issuecomment-496935850 If there are any other ideas on how best to get a brightness reading in the browser, we'd be very open to them. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Joe-Palmer Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-image/issues/209#issuecomment-677795097 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
