    type, /gfxsetdefaultfov 80

    That should do it. It doesn't scroll, but it sets it back. Play around with 70 or 90. I think 50 is "normal."

    Ahhh Okay, so it doesn't let you zoom in and out while playing you have to set what camera zoom you want.

    Thanks for answering my nube question, appreciate it.

    I wrote a sort of tutorial on how to do this, some time back. Follow the link below:

    Yes you can , and the easiest way i have found to do this is bind keys to certain camera settings.

    Type in chat: /bind 7 "gfxsetdefaultfov 55"
    Which is the default camera setting

    Then type in chat: /bind 8 "gfxsetdefaultfov 65"
    which is slightly zoomed out view

    type in chat : /bind 9 "gfxsetdefaultfov 80"
    which is zoomed out a fair amount and good for large open areas

    Dont forget to hit ENTER after each line is typed, and type exactly as i have wrote in bold

    Setting up like this you can hit keys 7, 8 or 9 while questing or in cambat and can instantly zoom out, hitting 7 zooms you back in to default anytime you wish

    Doing this will bind the settings to keys, which you can hit while playing and in combat and will instantly zoom you veiw either out or in.

    The default setting is 55, any number higher, will zoom out, and vise versa any number lower than 55 zooms closer

    Note: this is a custom key bind setting for each character, so only saves per character, you will have to re type in these binds for each character you use and they will save for that character.

    You can set it up to work from your mouse scroll wheel also but this does get rarther complicated and imo my way of doing it is far easier and works perfect, i did try setting up veiw with mouse scroll wheel it took quite a while to set up and the end result was not a smooth scroll in and out, but a 'jerky' zoom, and i found with this method i was accidently zooming in and out while in normal combat due to the sensitivity of my scroll wheel, hence binding certain settings to set key binds was far better and had no problems at all with it
