I have just installed 2.30 and want to know if there is a way to set the camera view to view straight forward instead of looking from an angle? I would like for it to be set that way every time I open Blender.
move the camera to where you want it and press Ctrl+U
hope that helps 
just position it how you want and press ctrl U for set user defaults.
Moving camera is not enough… you must rotate it!
ALT-R clears rotation (and camera will point down) then you can rotate it much easily
Stefano
yeah, rotate it too… (i meant that when i said to move it to where you want it…)
Happy, happy, Joy, Joy!!! Thanks. I thought I had tried that before but it is working now.
