you should run thru the quickstart tutorial, it gives you some basics about camera. rite-click to pan, ctrl-rt click to zoom, shift rt-click to do something or other else, I forget what. The other thing that I've taken to doing a LOT is selecting the camera object in the top view and moving it around like a regular object. Because the zoom function changes the focal length instead of bringing the camera closer, which isn't always what I want. MaryCanary
