  5. Problems you were having?
    Now I am trying to control the camera’s exposure using OpenCV, but setting properties does not work. For example, even you set CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE to -7.0 that does not stick and it is still the default value, 0. Below is my code.

    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_AUTO_EXPOSURE, 1)
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE, -7.0)
    print(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_AUTO_EXPOSURE)) #This returns 0
    print(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE)) #This returns 0

Am I doing something wrong?
