Maybe I'm [censored] or crazy, but after about an hour of play I found that in third person my character was just way too close to the screen, and his back dominated my view. Does anyone know how to alter the camera zoom in third person? The manual and in-game Help make no mention of it. Thanks.

you need to hold the right stick down then you can adjust the distance with the left stick (up and down).

I knew it was something awkward like that I did in the heat of battle. Much obliged.
