Simple lightmeter #12

Create a simple lightmeter from the built in camera. This needs quite some testing but we could invesitgate how this can be done. Either a global ilumination or bright area (histogram) should used to calculate a value that can be correlated to an exposure value. This could then be calibrated with an existing lightmeter for reference.
