Exposure– Auto Exposure in VFB 2.0 automatically adjusts the brightness of your render. Instead of changing settings like ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed yourself, Corona looks at the lighting in your scene and sets these values for balanced exposure. The strength of this effect can be controlled by the value of the slider. It also can be applied to the Simple Exposure in the Tone Mapping using the Bake.White Balance– Auto White Balance corrects the color temperature in your scene. It automatically adjusts to remove unwanted color tints, making sure colors look natural no matter the lighting.It also can be applied to the White Balance in the Tone Mapping using the Bake.Update during animation– This option updates the enabled Auto adjustment for each frame of the animation. This feature is especially helpful when the camera moves into a brighter area, such as from an indoor scene to a bright outdoor scene.
