Description

Right now the jpeg image exposure is wrong, not matching what was seen on the LCD. Figure out what registers to twiddle (save & restore?) so that the exposure is preserved and the jpegs are nicely exposed.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Python driver’s RGB-to-JPEG mode switch and identify how exposure is represented in the OV2640 registers. Compare the exposure used for the LCD view with the JPEG-mode configuration; done means JPEG output preserves the observed exposure and is consistently well exposed.
