== Summary ==
 
'''The viewpoint from which you see the Second Life world is called the ''camera''. This article shows you how to control it'''
 
from which you see the ([[Teen Second Life|Teen]]) [[Second Life]] world is called ''camera''.
 
== Usage ==
Moving your [[avatar]] will also move your camera. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you're able to move further away from your avatar by scrolling down, or moving nearer to it, by scrolling up.
 
Hold the {{Keypress|Alt}} key pressed and hold your left mouse button clicked on an object or avatar. Dragging your mouse will spin your camera around the object/avatar (move left/right), or zoom (move up/down). Holding the {{Keypress|Ctrl}} key as well will let you spin around the object/avatar at all angles. Holding {{Keypress|⇧ Shift}} in addition will let you move the camera up/down/left/rightalong the place of your screen independantly of the object/avatar.
 
=== Mouselook ===
 
The Mouselook (or first person) view can be obtained by pressing {{Keypress|M}} on the keyboard when the chat bar is closed.  Press {{Keypress|Esc}} to return to the normal (third person) view.
 
The keyboard and mouse take on special behavior in mouselook. Left and right direction controls move side to side as if the {{Keypress|⇧ Shift}} key was held down, while mouse movement is used to rotate. Left mouse clicks work normally. To view the pie menu in mouselook, hold down the {{Keypress|Alt}} key (Option on Mac) while right clicking.
 
=== Advanced ===
In the [[advanced menu]], you're able to check the ''Disable Camera Constraints'' option, in order to be able to zoom further away from your avatar.
