I have a question.
I just had to grab the new update from Seondlife, but now it appears that something has changed, namely the Camera control with which you can rotate and go up and down, but now a part has been added that I personally find unnecessary and very inconvenient because it now takes up a lot of space on the screen.
Is one possible that idat can change

[Antonius1353]

that is not that was just my question to take a photo or video I use the Gyazo.
my question was after the update the camera control has changed there is now an extra field which is very hindrance in the screenmy qu

Good morning,

May I ask how I can see "save as preset" button on my camera control?  I want to save the camera view I just set but it always goes back to previous one.

[Antonius1353]

I think you do not understand if I put it wrong it goes to me because the field next to the camera ccotrol s that was there for the update above and not next to it

Thank you all if there is nothing to do about it, that is very unfortunate, it does not improve Second life, but that is my personal opinion 😞

It's POSSIBLE, but not likely.  You can file a Feature Request and ask for it in a future update.

While you're waiting, you have a couple of choices...you can even combine them.

1. You can try a different viewer, which may have camera controls that you find friendlier.  Firestorm, Catznip, Singularity, and Black Dragon are all popular third party viewer choices.
2. You can close the camera control palettes on your screen, and just use the keyboard camera controls.  Here is a link on how to use the keyboard to control your camera:

I have never had any use (or fondness) for that camera widget, which I view as a waste of screen space.  I much prefer Lindal's second suggestion, which is quicker and dramatically less clunky.

[Rolig Loon]

Yes, and what Lindal and I are saying is that you don't need that silly camera control panel at all.  It's a waste of screen space.  Get rid of the entire thing and use your keyboard's arrow keys and CTRL, Shift, Alt instead. 

[Rolig Loon]

I understand quite well, but there's nothing you can do about that.  The floater was evidently redesigned for the upgrade.  My recommendation, still, is to avoid using the camera control at all.

@Antonius1353,

What Rolig and I are trying to suggest is a whole new way of controlling your camera.  Once you learn it, you can close the camera control floater window and save a LOT of screen space. 

Try this:  Hold down your ALT key and your left mouse button.  Drag your mouse and see how the camera position responds.  Hit ESC to return your viewpoint to its default position.
