fotostyrda

Fotostyrda is a Swedish compound adjective formed from foto (photo or light) and styrd (controlled). In contemporary Swedish usage it describes systems, processes, or devices that are governed or regulated by light or photographic input rather than by manual control.

In photography and imaging, fotostyrda systems rely on light measurements to adjust parameters such as exposure, shutter speed, and focus. Examples include cameras with automatic exposure control, evaluative metering, and TTL flash systems, where sensor data drives automatic settings to achieve consistent image quality.

In scientific and technical contexts, fotostyrda refers to methods or instruments in which illumination acts as a control signal. This can include optically guided experiments, photometric feedback loops in imaging sensors, or light-controlled actuation in automation. The term emphasizes the role of light as an input that directs system behavior.

Usage of the term varies by field and can be found in Swedish technical literature, design documents, or discussions of automation where light plays a central controlling role. It is typically used descriptively rather than as a formal technical standard.
