Even if you cut the interest, it looks like the camera uses an imaginary interest to reorient itself (when u hit 'f' for instance) and behaves the same as a cam with interest. I think what is needed is an option like 'interest follows camera'. However, this can be a nightmare if you are doing ca

Same thing. There is an center of interest distance in the camera PPG. When you have a separate interest it is controlling this attribute. when you delete the interest it reverts to using this value in the camera PPG. (similar to how up vector constraints work) I also think when you delete the

That is actually a tricky one because when you zoom in the Nav tool you are not changing the FOV but rather moving the camera closer to the interest. (e.g. the point about which the camera orbits) When the camera reaches the interest you can't go any further. In Maya when you start zooming and
