An extended reality (XR) system receives capture information from a first camera with a first image sensor that faces a first direction, for instance facing an environment. The capture information is associated with capture of first image data by the first image sensor, for instance including the first image data and/or first image capture settings used to capture the first image data. The XR system determines an image capture setting, such as an exposure setting, for a second image sensor based on the capture information. The second image sensor faces second direction, for instance facing a user of the XR system. In some examples, the XR system determines the image capture setting also based on information from a display buffer for a display that faces the second direction. The XR system causes a second image sensor to capture second image data according to the image capture setting.
