  Virtual retinal display with expanded exit pupil - Patent 5701132
The exit pupil expanding apparatus 18 in various embodiments expands the exit pupil to define an enlarged exit pupil 21 by generating multiple closely spaced (or overlapping) exit pupils and/or by enlarging the exit pupil(s).
The expanded exit pupil(s) occur slightly beyond the eyepiece 20 at a location where a viewer positions the pupil of their eye E. 2 shows light paths for three pixels of an image to be formed on the eye E retina 23.
Exit pupil 21' corresponds to exit pupil 21 and occurs at approximately the same 3-dimensional position relative to the eyepiece 20.

 Exit Pupil of Binoculars | birding .com
The exit pupil is the magnified image in the eyepiece as it leaves the binocular to enter your eye and its diameter, measured in millimeters, is determined by dividing the aperture by the magnification.
The eye pupil is controlled by the iris, which acts like a variable aperture for the retina and will allow the pupil to change in size from about 2mm up to 8mm, usually depending on the brightness of the available light.
When the exit pupil of the binocular is larger than the eye pupil, some of the light coming from the binocular will fall on the iris and is undetected by the observer.

  Exit pupil is another important concept to understand
Exit pupil is another important concept to understand, though it is not a property of an eyepiece by itself; instead, it is a characteristic of one specific eyepiece when used with a particular telescope.
The exit pupil of an eyepiece on a particular telescope equals the diameter of the telescope’s objective divided by the magnification.
However, should it be that the pupil of your eye can not dilate to a size that is at least equal to the exit pupil, some of the outer edge of the small circle of light will not be able to enter your eye and the image you see will be dimmed.

When the exit pupil of the binoculars is larger than the eye pupils, some of the light coming from the binoculars will fall on the irises and be undetected by the observer.
When the exit pupil is smaller than the eye pupil, then the amount of light falling on the retina will be less than that collected with your normal vision at that particular time, and so the object observed will appear dim.

 Pupil - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki
In humans and many animals (but few fish), the size of the pupil is controlled by involuntary contraction and dilation of the iris, in order to regulate the intensity of light entering the eye.
The reasons for the variation in shapes are complex; the shape is closely related to the optical characteristics of the lens, the shape and sensitivity of the retina, and the visual requirements of the species.
In strong light, the pupil constricts and is small, but still allows light to be cast over a large part of the retina.

If the exit pupil is very small compared to the aperture of the shutter, then exposure brightness and depth of field is determined by the telescope, not the camera.
However, if the exit pupil is large compared to the range of shutter diameters, the camera controls do indeed influence exposure and depth of field.
