Sorry about this. It's my fault. AE connot work properly on my surface
Go 2 back camera. I try to make it more stable for the exposure. So I
expend the mean from the top 2% to 30%. It works for the front camera
before but doesn't work for the back camera.
I'll remove this experimental code in the v3.

Sure, I'll modify it in my v3.
