Auto Exposure issues

Hey all,

im having an issue in both 4 and 5 ( trying to use 5 to get used to it but also went into 4 to see if it happened too ) with thr auto exposure, when im looking at a model or a plan from a distance its darker but when i get up close to lighting gets brighter.

how do i turn off auto exposure?
i have gone through looking for answers but everything ive seen so far from post process vol to editing the engine in project settings hasnt worked.

Edit - Project Settings - Rendering

This disables Auto-Exposure entirely.
Any effects you see after turning it off aren’t auto exposure.

From your description, I would be looking at Atmospheric Fog you might have in the scene.
