99    As changing the clockdiv so that the fps drops from 30 to 15 fps for
100    example, will lead to a huge exposure change (it effectively doubles),
101    this algorithm normally tries to only adjust the gain (between 40 and
102    80 %) and if that does not help, only then changes exposure. This leads
103    to a much more stable image then using the knee algorithm which at
104    certain points of the knee graph will only try to adjust exposure,
105    which leads to oscilating as one exposure step is huge.
