Moving the camera requires constant adjustment of camera settings

[ms6]

Gurus,

 

I am using V-ray for Rhino. On previous models I have made, I only needed to change the camera settings when I went from an outside render (regardless of camera position and distance to object) to an indoors render. In my new model, as soon as I move the camera I have to readjust the camera settings to maintain the lighting, i.e. the closer I place the camera to the object, the darker the render gets. When I am fairly close, the render gets completely black and I need to use fantasy numbers on the camera to get natural light.

 

Changing the camera settings resolves the issue, but previously I did not have to do this and it is proving cumbersome when doing large numbers of renderings from various angles and distances. I have a feeling I am missing something trivial but I just cant find it.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

Cheers,

/M
