Can't exit third person

[UnrulyCorvid]

I can't leave third person on foot...that's it.

Sure can, can also switch to 1st if want. I use mostly 3rd, 1st only for building at times.

So what is the key for switching?

In the menu where you call ships and make emotions (for me it’s X) go the very left menu item.
The same menu also contains the flashlight and scanning for trade posts (if you have that upgrade installed in your ship)
You can press control and a number on the menu item to assign it as shortcut to one of the nunber keys.

On the PC keyboard, press 'X', then move left to the settings symbol, press 'F', move right to the figure icon, press 'F' and you are there.

I should have been more clear, I had a bug that would not let me leave third person. I just resolved it. Weirdly enough, it was fixed by emoting...Who would have guessed.

Just all of you going in the Quickmenu: for changing 1st / 3rd person view, assign a shortcut. I have bind it to CTRL-3 and so I'm quick to change. Works for ship and for my avatar on planets.
I have CTRL-2 for the torch, CTRL-1 to summon exocraft.

Thanks for this post...

After now having found it...I think the problem is that it's called camera mode, which is actually a nice kind of idiosyncrac game mechanic, but a cause for confusion none the less. :D

I wish there were just a key for it, instead of it being a menu selection, or in addition to...

Same with photo mode. It's not like we don't have a truckload of keys on the PC. How about F-11? Or F-6? Or any other ****ing key that isn't already bound? Why not utilize the unbelievable potential of the keyboard with CTRL, ALT, SHIFT + any key?

I should be able to hit one key or key-combo and switch between 1st and 3rd person views.

I should be able to hit one key or key-combo to turn on my freakin' flashllight. I have to go through a menu system to turn on my flashlight? Wut?

I should be able to hit one key or key-combo to take pretty pictures, on the fly. By the time I get to the menu option for photograph mode, the creature I wanted to take a picture of has moved 20 yards, and isn't looking anywhere near as cool as it did when I wanted to take the picture.

But no. You can't have easily-programmed good things. Sorry for the cynicism, but seriously WTF.

HOW?? How do you bind "quick"menu items to keyboard keys?

It's written in the Quickmenu, just follow instructions and press the key sequence you wish as a shortcut. It will be saved and next time you can use what you have defined. The sequence must start with CTRL plus a number, like instructed in the Quickmenu.

Thank you japp. Amazing help. I can hardly believe I never saw that.
