Why is this scene naturally dark? (Not a lighting question)

Sooo I have this product  https://www.daz3d.com/condominium-locker-room

And I'd really like to use it but whenever I try, I run into this ungodly visibility issue (attached) I'm not saying anything bad about Tesla3DCorp at all. I have quite a few products from them (?) But this one insists on being shadowy. In other environments I have, it's not uncommon for things to be dark until I hit CTRL+L so I can see what I'm doing but when I do that in this environment, it just gets darker. Leading me to believe that these shadows are default. It's hard to pose in some areas and get a good idea of what I'm doing. I've tried switching to Nvidia Iray instead of Texture shaded but my computer isn't really up to that. Is there a different switch I can toggle on or off so I'm not working in the dark? As you can see in the attached picture with the character in it, it's difficult to see what facial expression works best without spot rendering or going into Iray view which takes some time because my computer isn't exactly top of the line.

    How does it look if you select "Perspective View" instead of the camera "MC"?

    OMG! "MC" is My Camera. I TOTALLY missed that! I feel so stupid now. Thank you! Everytime I load this scene I roll my eyes and think "God this would be perfect if it weren't for these shadows!" Then I go somewhere else. I'm going to slink off in shame now. Thanks for the slap in the head PerttiA
