Cameras are far worse than human eyes at detecting detail in darker skin tones. They’re tuned specifically for lighter skin tones and struggle with darker ones.

That’s an exposure issue, not a tuning issue. Too high exposure time, you risk brighter objects being too bright, and fast objects being blurry. Too short exposure time, dark objects lose detail.
Think of it like a flashlight to your face. If it’s too bright, you can’t see anything.
