sorry this is an incredibly nooby question as i’m still a beginner at using blender, but my camera hotkeys seem to be disabled. i’m not sure what i did but when i press the number keys blender tells me i’m changing the number of layers (bottom left hand side) and the camera angle won’t move. my apologies again for asking such a simple question but help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
Are you using a numpad. These are the number keys used to change views, NOT the number keys across the top of the keyboard which are used to change visible layers
If you do not have a numpad then in File / User Preferences / Input enable the ‘Emulate Numpad’ option which will make the number keys work like the numpad
