Tilting the Camera side to side

I'm watching a Dreamlight training video and in it they are using DAZ Studio 3 and the controls have the little double sided arced arrow over a single dot used to tilt the camera side to side... I don't have that in my current controls on Daz 4 and I'm wonder how do I get that back into the layout so I can tilt my camera right and left?

    To tilt your camera, select that camera in the view selection and then rotate as you want, works for me.

    ...select the camera you'll be rendering though and use the Z axis rotate slider.

    Thats what I was discribing in the first post.. Where is that slider? Oh.. Parameters right? Got it. You should mention the "Parameters" tab.

    OK, now I know that but how do I get the z axis control back in my main window controls? I liked that in the older versions.

    Hold down ctrl (cmd on the Mac) and right-drag on the on the orbit icon at top-right of the viewport (assuming you haven't docked the view controls) to bank. You can also open the View pane (Window>Panes(Tabs)>View) to get a DS3-style set of control buttons.

    Thanks Richard. That did the trick for me. It is kind of ironic that watching a video on camera positioning would inspire this but at least I'm still learning. I probably should have watched more of these videos a long time ago.

    Anyways, thanks for the help. Now that I know how to do it.. I don't really miss the old style anymore.

    With 'Tool Tips' switched on (Edit/Preferences/Interface tab) hovering over the camera control would have given the key commands.

    Interestingly, all of the camera controls are covered in the DAZ Studio 4.x User Guide available here:

    http://docs.daz3d.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/daz_studio_4_x_user_guide.pdf

    Look in Chapter II
