Have you ever tried to take a picture only to be thwarted by your camera controls?
How would you like to be able to get that perfect camera angle and not have to worry about your camera jumping back or doing loops?

How about the jerkiness of camera controls?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could move our camera as gracefully as a real photographer could?
Smooth transitions?
I wonder how anyone makes movies here with these camera controls. They have real skill to overcome the hurdles offered by our current system of camera control. I see one can purchase systems, but that involves messing with command line stuff. Taking pictures and short films is one of the best parts of SL and the camera controls must allow us to do what we want.

Welcome to Second Life :)


Hold Ctrl Alt down, then hold left click button on your mouse and move around.

Same for just holding Alt down as well but for Zooming, or use your mouse scroll wheel for the zoom.
