Struggling with some HDRIs

I wanted an urban setting with some graffiti and found this HDRI at HDRI Haven. It looked perfect.

I thought a shot of her in front of the grafiti on the walls would be just what I wanted. So I downloaded it (16K resolution), loaded up my character, put the HDRI in my environment tab and when I went to frame her in front of the wall, I get this instead...

Is it a format compatibility problem or am I missing something in how I set it up.

    I went and got that same HDRI. I see the same thing using the plain viewport and perspective view. It works much better with a camera if you drop the focal length to ~30mm, frame with ~35mm. It's a pretty tight space, maybe 8x10 ft with the eyepoint about 5 or 6 feet off the ground, so there's not a lot of room to manoeuvre.

    Edit: Woops, thought I had the same one. Give me a few minutes to get the right one...

    Okay, well, same idea, you need a pretty wide angle to see more of the background.

    Thank you very much for taking the effort to see what options there are! I totally forgot about the idea of changing the camera lens settings. I will have to keep that in mind with files like that which aren't designed with the default Daz Studio camera in mind.

    Glad to help. Learned a couple of tricks myself.
