Changing the FPS would not change your exposure. Changing the shutter angle/speed would. So does changing the aperture. We donβt have shutter speed in our eyes, but we do have an iris! Your eyes actually change your iris aperture naturally when in the dark.
You can even trick your body to change the iris on only one eye. Cover one eye for a few minutes (at least 15-20min) in a brightly lit environment then move to a rack room (not pitch black but very minimal light) and open your covered eye. Your covered eyeβs iris is already wide open and you can see well from it. The other one needs time to adjust.
This is why pirates were wearing eye patches, to be able to enter the hull of the ship and see immediately without lighting up a candle. Fire is not a good idea inside a wooden ship filled with black powder.
