No, there is not. This is exactly how it works with a fully professional SLR camera set to manual. You can use the Autolinear tone mapper but for best results the Linear tonemapper is better. There is a lesson oj how to find the correct exposure in my Make Your Own Reality  course. You can find it at http://preta3d.com/make-your-own-reality/
