Hello there,

I'm trying to play EVE for couple of hours now. First, i was able to look at everywhere with camera, but now when i release the right mouse botton camera is going back to my ship.

I tried several keys but they didn't helped. Can you guys tell me the shortcut for this problem?

The "C" button is the default for swapping between two main camera modes.

Turn that tracking camera off, kill it with fire, and then manually look around as you have been.

Right mouse allows you to move camera around on a pivot centered from your point of view. Left mouse allows you to rotate camera around the ship and is the one normally used as it allows you to see what is happening around you, without losing track of what is happening to your ship.

It is weird, and it took a bit of getting used to myself with other MMO controls, but you'll get used to it.
