Question How to fix camera view?

Starting from 1st person view, if I press F9 four times I go to my favourite 3rd person view. Sometimes when I start swimming or press an unknown key by mistake the camera view goes up and I cant see my character down there anymore. It goes behind my main chat window (on the midle botton of my screen).

My question is, how do I fix it?

I dont know if my explanation was clear or if it happens to anybody that moves fro earth to the water if on this view. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

pg up/pg dn keys, likely 7-9 on numpad. you can also hold alt with arrow keys and pg up/pg dn, pan around, up, down, and move camera independently as if it were a floating drone cam. home/end will adjust the distance from the camera to player.

you can use this to see over walls, around corners etc. all monks/pullers need to understand this.

Also, if the direction of a camera from the player is impeded by an object like a rock, or a wall, the camera will not pass that point. if panning wide in 3rd person, the camera will sweep to the object, move to its block point, then move back out again as it passes

you may need to map these keys, if they are not already bound.

Very nice. Is there a way to reset it to the original position?
