Camera doesn't seem to work

Hi,

I tried for the first time to activate the camera view, it is weird. I went to the previous file, and this is the result, it seems to view somewhere else in the scene.

This last one is a previous file. What could of caused this?

This is Object as Camera mode, you may have entered it by selecting an object and pressing Ctrl+Num0. You should be able to fix it by selecting your camera and pressing Ctrl+Num0.

usually you only need to click Num0, i’m pretty sure you don’t need to press Ctrl

Ctrl+Num0 sets the selected camera as active. Num0 only changes the view to active camera view.

ok, i didn’t know that.

To achieve a the view I want I usually create an empty object and place that where I want the camera to look.

I create an empty and have the camera look at that. This is done by adding a camera constraint.and setting it to look at the empty then settings are- z and y this means the camera always looks at your empty .You are then free to move the empty to any shot you wish.

Thanks for the responses, I started a new file, so I haven’t returned to this.
