I have a scene setup, where I am using multiple cameras attached to a null, and they are reacting the way I would expect, except that I can not switch it to wide angle. It will let me select it, but as soon as I click on anything else, they revert to normal angle. If anyone can give me any suggestions, I really need to figure this out.
Thanks

I wonder if you've got an animation guy buried somewhere for these camera settings? That "reset as soon as you leave the object" thing will happen if you've got animation keys - and you aren't in record mode. (unless you make your changes and specificially record the key for the parameter).

I hadn't thought about that, but I don't use automatic keyframing. However, that might be a solution to what I need, is it possible to keyframe camera types? If it is possible, I could build a bridge between the two different scenes where the camera animates from a normal camera to a wide angle one. Any thoughts on this one?

well, I figured out the problem, when I had duplicated the cameras, it duped them as normal lenses, and added a keyframe on the parameter track that I hadn't looked at
thanks for making me think about what I was doing WQP
