I found nothing in the manual: How to move a camera when looking through it? I can rotate it in the "0" view and it really rotates the camera. I can also move the camera, but when I am in the "0" view it moves only forward and backward, irrespective what axis I choose (Gx, Gy, Gz). So, how to move the camera along, say, Z axis when in "0" view?

Hmm...I think it's moving in relative directions, not absolute world directions. I don't know how to change that, though.

So, haventt you set the camera when using it? Have you only used camera targeting? By the way, I tried using Gxx etc., but the result was even more strange.

I split the UI into multiple windows. I have one window that's using the "0 View" for the camera (object) I'm moving, and another that's in a user view, where I can move the camera around easier. I can see where the cameras pointing because of the "0 view" window; and can rotate it scale it, whatever, that way for the view I'm wanting. -J

I usually move the camera with g to pan, g and then middle mouse button to move in and out, or rotate around the cursor point. I've never actually wanted to move along one of the axes.

Ahh, that is much easier. :)

CTRL-ALT-NUMPAD0 -> align camera to view. Thats all! ;) Cristi
