The camera controls can be brought up in two ways:

• Click the Camera Controls button on the bottom button bar
• Go to the top menu bar and select Avatar → Camera Controls

The camera controls are divided into sections, as follows.

• At the top, there are six buttons. These are:
  • Front view - places the camera in front of your face, and facing you.
  • Side view - place the camera over your left shoulder, looking forward.
  • Rear view - places the camera behind and slightly above you; this is the default position.
  • Object view - allows you to zoom in on objects by clicking them. Hit ESC to leave object view.
  • Mouselook view - places the camera in front of you; the camera then moves with your mouse; the camera controls disappear in this view. Hit Esc to leave mouselook.
  • Reset view - restores the camera to default.
• The lefthand circle allows you to rotate your camera;
• The vertical slide in the center controls zoom; you can drag it or use the +/- signs for finer control;
• The arrows in the righthand square pan the camera left/right and up/down.

• Position button - opens the Camera Position window. This changes the position of the camera in relation to your avatar.
• Small icon to the right of Position - Allows you to save your current settings as a preset.
• Use Preset - Opens a dropdown menu containing the presets you have created. Choose from the menu.
• Gear icon - Opens a window showing the presets you have created and the built-in presets. You can delete your own camera presets here.

Additional camera controls can be found in the Phototools Camera window.
