Nice work Derek!
Regarding the WDR readings:
What does the 16.6ms shutter speed refer to in the 'WDR On' tile? The first capture of the WDR or the second or an average between the two?
In the final .1 lux tile, has the shutter reached it slowest allowed setting at 1/30 sec, and the gain its highest at 28db?
