Not only cheap cameras you know. Watch any TV documentary and you will 
see brightness adjustments being made while the camera moves from inside 
to out or vice versa. In movies I suspect they avoid this by shooting 
scenes either inside or outside and making the view through the window 
artificial by using a backdrop for instance which they can tune to the 
scene. By the way, there is a method to achieve this brought to us by 
Tim Nikias back in 2005: www.nolights.de using his glare.inc macro for 
creating a backdrop image. His example is the Waiting for Company scene.

Good to see you here again once in a while, Hildur!
