I had a problem with SL and had to do a reinstall.. I guess I’m running a newer version now.. Anyway the view is really distorted.. not quite a fish eye view… but when you look into a room now, it looks very deep… and stretched out… actually deeper than the room should look… It looks terrible. I had the same problem with Snowglobe and quite using it because it also had this stretched out view. The version of SL I was running a day ago.. before this reinstall did not have this funky view.. How can I adjust this to get a normal view back… I build… and this view makes it hard to see what the spaces really look like when the view is stretched out so deep like this..
Thanks

Preferences/Input & Camera/Camera View Angle and maybe Camera Follow Distance, too.

Perhaps Control 9.

Control 8 Fisheyes, Control 9 restores to normal, Control 0 enlarges ("zooms" in).

Ctrl-9 is important to remember. You can use Ctrl-8 and Ctrl-0 to zoom in and out--you can get much closer than with the regular camera controls--but either one seriously distorts your view, like a wide-angle or fish-eye lens would. Ctrl-9 resets it to the default.
