That's a pretty ugly number... 666.. But I'm using Outlook Express and I
thought it's pretty much standard software?  Hmm.

You can "comment out" these 2 lines in the main file:

#declare Exposure = .15; // Compression factor
#declare Exposure_Gain = 30;

Because, they activate some code elsewhere (in the camera file) that only
works with the unofficial version MegaPOV. You can also choose to download
that version if you like; it has some extra features (
http://megapov.inetart.net/ )  but everything else I wrote is compatible
with the version of POV-Ray that you already have. The image will just
appear darker.. To compensate for that, you can choose to increase the
light.. The result can be almost the same.

Let me know how it turns out.  :o)
