Don't follow me, I'm lost

This may not be news to most of you, but if you are focussed on a person and they walk away or go elsewhere, your camera follows them.

That caught me by surprise, especially when the person I was looking at (alt+mouse zoom) got ejected from a club and I suddenly ended up looking at the backside of a desert instead of the club - even though my av was still there.

Similarly, I was looking at a person and then the camera followed them out of the club, into the shops and further. Fascinated, I left things as they were and watched, just to see how far it would go. I mean, if you were so inclined you could "go" to some interesting places by this method.

Eventually I got bored and gave up. Is there a limit to how far the camera follows another person?

If you:

then

Client // Disable Camera Constraints...


No limit that I can tell

I have a rather large piece of land in SL and I use this to keep an eye on people that show up on the other side of my property while I am hanging out talking with friends at one end (by the water). I just pan over to them (using the Client // Disable Camera Constraints thing Trvis mentioned) and then focus on them.

Then I just keep chatting with friends while I keep an eye on that person. As long as they behave I have no prob with them looking around my land. But if they start mischief, I already have them in my sights and can freeze/ban them almost instantly.

Plus it's kind of fun to watch someone enjoy the builds on my land.

The limit under Disable Camera Constraints is your draw distance. So yes, there is a limit.
