Problem: The Third-Person camera is zoomed in more than it should be.
Cause: Happens after the Companions turn you into a Werewolf.

-----

On my Nord Male Character, I never bothered with the Companions.

On my Imperial Female Character, I joined them and became a Werewolf. I noticed also that my third-person camera was closer than normal. But I disregarded this because I did not know what caused it.

Then on my Nord Male Character, I became a Werewolf and noticed my camera, once more, was zoomed in more than normal.

How do I fix this problem?

are you sure you didn't zoom it on accident? happened to a lot of people, me included. hold down L3 or the equivalent 'toggle camera' control, and move the left stick or equivalent forward and back to zoom.

Probably Left Stick Click-Hold on Xbox then Right Stick Up and Down.

Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks.

Me neither.

I had forgotten about how to do it from Fallout 3. I boned my camera up early on in this game and had to ask here. It's really not in the frigging manual.

Sometimes it does happen on it's own ya know. It's not very common but does happen.
