3rd Person Camera Zoom Out
I've been playing Skyrim (PC) for a couple of weeks now, and as I go along, playing in 3rd person as I do, I've noticed that the camera that is following along behind my character seems to be slowly but surely getting closer to me.

When I first began, it performed as it did in the 360 version, I could see the entirety of my character, head-to-toe, standing still with weapons sheathed. Now I can only see the back of the head and most of the back and right arm. It, of course, zooms out a bit when I attempt to sneak, unsheathe, or both, but still not to the point where I can see my entire character.

It's starting to make gameplay a bit difficult, and tried searching this forum for help, but couldn't find a solution. So I ask, how do I fix this?

check key settings. I use my mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

Use mouse wheel if you are using a mouse. If you are using a controller hold down the right analog stick and move the left to zoom in and out.
look for your version and dlc you got and look for mods in the communiy workshop files for skyrim patch unofficial or look at my collection there are all 3 sepereted subscribted for each kind dlc. just take care for the gras mod and tree mods they could slow down your framrate depending on your prefs ^^

Thanks guys! Mouse wheel has been dodgy for quite some time, but I normally use a controller to play. So SwiftJustice's suggestion did the trick. I figured it was probably something simple to make it zoom, just couldn't find any information on how to do it. Thanks again!

what if you're using a trackball, without a wheel?
