Camera Navigation
There are several different ways to navigate and position the camera in your scene, some of them are explained below.
Zooming in and out is possible in this view, but to change the viewpoint, you have to move or rotate the camera.

Remember that the active “camera” might be any kind of object. So these actions can be used, for example, to position and aim a lamp.
