Camera focus problem

I did "something" and I'm not sure what I did but I need help "undoing" it.

Something changed in the last patch and I have somehow managed to get one of my characters in a mode that when I click on an object either in space or on the overview it rotates the screen to bring that object into view.

That's a NICE feature...... when you want it turned on.

But that character lives in a POS and selecting POS structures (corp hangars, labs etc) causes the screen to rotate when I don't want it to. Moreover, with certain camera angles it causes the screen to rotate erratically in a way similar to the effect you would get by holding down the left mouse button and shaking the mouse.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

That's the new tracking camera. The default hotkey to toggle it on/off is 'C'

So select an object, then press C to track, and press C again to turn it off. You can tell if you're currently tracking an object by looking at the Selected Item panel (where you have icons for approach, orbit, warp, etc.) and at the top where it say "Selected Item" it will also say "Tracking" when tracking mode is enabled.
