Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Gets the state of the auto-exposure lock. Applications should check #isAutoExposureLockSupported before using this method. See #setAutoExposureLock for details about the lock.

Java documentation for android.hardware.Camera.Parameters.getAutoExposureLock().

Property setter documentation:

Sets the auto-exposure lock state. Applications should check #isAutoExposureLockSupported before using this method.

If set to true, the camera auto-exposure routine will immediately pause until the lock is set to false. Exposure compensation settings changes will still take effect while auto-exposure is locked.

If auto-exposure is already locked, setting this to true again has no effect (the driver will not recalculate exposure values).

Stopping preview with #stopPreview(), or triggering still image capture with #takePicture(Camera.ShutterCallback, Camera.PictureCallback, Camera.PictureCallback), will not change the lock.

Exposure compensation, auto-exposure lock, and auto-white balance lock can be used to capture an exposure-bracketed burst of images, for example.

Auto-exposure state, including the lock state, will not be maintained after camera #release() is called. Locking auto-exposure after #open() but before the first call to #startPreview() will not allow the auto-exposure routine to run at all, and may result in severely over- or under-exposed images.
