Camera darker after Set View Target - why?

[Defedarax1]

Hey everyone!

I have a simple but annoying issue: when I switch from my Third Person camera to a camera on another Blueprint (laptop) using Set View Target, the image instantly becomes darker.

Both cameras have:

Exactly the same settings (copy-pasted)
Same Auto Exposure (Manual)
Same Post Process Settings
Same lighting in the scene

I’ve tried:

Disabling Auto Exposure globally
Forcing Exposure Compensation
Adding Post Process Component

Nothing works! The laptop view stays darker than the Third Person view.

Any idea what could cause this? It’s like Unreal recalculates something when changing View Target…

Thanks!

Hi @Defedarax1,

Yeah, this is very odd. It also appears to me like an auto-exposure issue, which is odd given that you appear to be controlling that.

Try enabling this view mode and compare the histogram results between the two cameras. That should let you know if there is any exposure change.
