    I have a 1 month old R2, and just started having issues with the screen brightness going from the strongest setting, to a weaker setting on it's own.

    Is there an auto application on the camera that detects sunlight and changes the brightness??

    It's really weird what is happening, and I'm trying to figure out if it is a sign that something is going bad with the display or GPU, or if this might be due to an app. As there is direct sunlight behind me in the morning in my office.

    Thanks in advance for any info.

    Nevermind this post, it seems to be fine now, maybe it was the way the sun was hitting the RGBLED display, I dunno, but it's working fine now.

    Mods, you can shut this post down, sorry about that.
