new MBP, display brightness changes with tilt??

[iwanttogarden]

So my brightness levels keep getting changed from what I set it to. Now I finally figured out why!

The brightness level changes by how far back I tilt the display... Basically the closer it is to 180 degrees the brighter, the closer it is to being closed, the darker the screen is.

Is this a feature? My last Apple laptop was an iBook, so this is weird to me.

Ok it is a feature, "Automatically change brightness as ambient light changes".
Freaked me out! Well this fixes a huge complaint of mine haha.

I would guess the ambient light sensor....you're probably pointing it towards your lights . I accidently figured out the sensor is either the iSight camera...or it's located right near it. Put your finger over the camera.

It's right next to it. Just to the left. Look REALLY close with just the right light, and you'll see it.
