Hello Dinesh,

The exposure value representation depends on the used device. Please refer to http://www.imagingcontrol.com/ic/docs/html/activex/tech_VCDProperties.htm . There is text about exposure.

Hello Dinesh,

The register values displayed to exposure conversion to seconds depend on the camera. Please look into your cameras menual and hope, there is a formula or a table. IC Imaging Control can only show, what the camera or the driver delivers.
Also there is a DirectShow convention for physical values for exposure:

Seconds = 2^n,

If n = -5, then the seconds = 2^-5 = 1/32 seconds.
