+ Exposure mode allowing very large exposure times and gains.
+
+ This mode is intended to make the full capabilities of the sensor
+ available. In practice this allows multi-second exposures and
+ maximum available analogue gain. In contrast to other modes,
+ it is generally expected that the exposure time is maximized first,
+ and only then is gain used to achieve the target exposure. Note,
+ that this mode can be customized in tuning files, thus the behaviour
+ might differ slightly.
+
+ Such behaviour can be useful for mostly static scenes where the
+ lighting changes drastically over a period of time (e.g. capturing
+ the sky 24 hours a day).
+
+ Be aware that FrameDurationLimits will always apply, potentially reducing
+ the maximum achievable exposure time.

Add a new exposure mode that is intended to make the full capabilities of a sensor available for applications, potentially allowing multi-second exposure times and maximal analogue gain.
