The unusually large zoom maintained with the isometric perspective of Diablo 4 may cause some discomfort for players that spent multiple hours with the previous installments of the series. On this page of the guide, we explain whether the camera can be zoomed out, allowing for a better view of the battlefield, and whether the camera zooms in or out automatically in certain situations.

• Default camera view
• Situations where camera zooms in our out

Default camera view

One of the first things the players notice when starting their adventure with Diablo 4 is that the camera is closer to the hero than in previous installments of the series . This allows showing the characters and the map in much more detail, as the game offers state-of-the-art graphics, but has one significant drawback - it makes it difficult to orient yourself during larger battles.

The problem is evident in situations when facing large groups of monsters and becomes especially troublesome when facing ranged enemies or when trying to find your way around the battlefield.

Unfortunately, we have bad news for you - this level of camera zoom is fixed (you cannot adjust it by yourself) and this degree of zoom is maintained throughout the whole of the game. This is probably because a player with a zoomed-out camera could have an advantage over players watching the action up close.

Situations where camera zooms in our out

At certain moments in the game, the following may occur:

1. Automatic zoom out - this, for example, is experienced during the first visit to Kor Valar, and the goal of this is to, among others, show a large bridge leading to this location.
2. Automatic zoom-in - this may happen during visits to large cities and other safe locations. You don't have to worry then of being surrounded by enemies.

In both cases, the unusual level of zoom is only temporary, and after entering areas with monsters, the camera will go back to normal.
