Antiblur and Twilight in Ambient Light

I also wanted to see the reactions of Antiblur and Twilight to ambient light inside a house near windows--in other words, simply not strong daylight, but also not night. I found patterns to be quite similar to the daylight exposures. The Twilight continues to be slightly underexposed, but has better dynamic range more detail than the Antiblur, which is slightly overexposed, with loss of detail and lower dynamic range. Further, the HX1's "Intelligent Auto" mode still continues to do admirably well. Here are the Antiblur and Twilight modes compared using books on a bookshelf near a window, I think about 6 feet away, at a zoom of 60.9 mm, handheld, image stabilization on:

Ambient Light Antiblur, LEFT, Ambient Light Twilight, RIGHT

Here is the Intelligent Auto and Antiblur and Twilight modes compared in the same setting. Note that the Intelligent Auto is holding its own nicely. Overall, though, I still think the slightly underexposed Twilight has the upper hand, especially if light PP is brought into play:
