==Turning Left and Right==<br />
The simplest way to control you view is simply to turn your [[Avatar]], by using the arrows on the keyboard. Press the left arrow to turn your Avatar to the left, and the right arrow to turn to the right.<br />
<br />
==Zoom==<br />
To zoom the view in and out (without Mouse Look) you can:<br />
*Move the scroll wheel forward and back<br />
*Press CTL-0 to zoom in and CTL-8 to zoom out (and CTL-9 to return to the default viewing distance)<br />
<br />
==Mouse Look==<br />
[[Mouse Look]] refers to a set of ways to control the view by using the mouse. For instructions on how to use this feature, see: [[Mouse Look]].<br />
<br />
==Reset Normal Viewing==<br />
When the camera is locked into a particular viewing mode, to bring it back to normal viewing, either:<br />
*Hit Esc<br />
*Or hit one of the keyboard arrows to start walking or to turn your [[Avatar]] to the right or left<br />
<br />
==View Pad==<br />
The [[View Pad]] at the top of the User Interface (just below the Menu Bar) can be used to adjust the user's view of the World, as follows: <br />
*The circle on the left adjusts the user's point of view: from above, from below, or from side to side <br />
*The vertical scale in the middle is a zoom (adjusts the view closer or farther away) <br />
*The circle on the right moves the viewed World with respect to the user: up, down, right or left<br />
<br />
==View Menu==<br />
Numerous other viewing options are presented in the [[View Menu]].<br />
<br />
==Lighting==<br />
The default lighting of the [[User Interface]] depends on period of the day, where one full Second Life Day lasts 4 hours (see [[Time]]).<br />
<br />
During the "midnight" period, the [[User Interface]] screen will be very dark. However, you can easily change the period of the day according to your own choice, as follows:<br />
*In the [[Menu Bar]], open: [[World Menu]] > Environmental Settings<br />
*Select the period of the day from among the following choices: Sunrise, Midday, Sunset, Midnight<br />
<br />
For more advanced lighting controls, see [[Lighting]].<br />
