By LUST
As there are no shown key bindings for the game, this simple guide will tell you how to both: rotate and freely navigate the camera.

To move the camera freely / camera's free mode:
To rotate: Press 'Alt' on keyboard (hold it) and freely use mouse in any direction. This gives a 360° view.

Zoom in / Zoom Out: Mouse wheel up / down (as it always is).
OR
Press 'Alt' (hold it) and simultaneously press 'Right or Left Mouse Button' (hold it too). As you hold both buttons, move mouse up / down and this will act as zooming tool.

For more precision: If you are in such a position that you need to move camera just a bit and the mouse moves too far, use 'Arrow Keys' (obviously).

Reset Camera view: Unless you changed settings manually in the .txt file, use 'Backspace Key'.

Now, go make some beautiful screenshots!

Note:
  • KEYDEFAULTS.LUA in the main folder shows all keybindings. Use it to e.g. rebind keys. Open it with notepad.
  • You can't rotate buildings themselves.
Afterword:
