Zoom out?

hi
i wonder if it's possible to zoom out in the render viewport?
if render like 3000 x 2150, i can't see the entire image, so i have to use the scrollbars.
i know i can use the "fit dimension to the render window", but being able to zoom out would be nice (like it's possible in 3ds max).
thanks

Use the "camera target picker" button and pick an object in the scene as center point for the camera. Then it's pretty straight forward to navigate.

hi zay
thanks for your opinion.
what is pretty straight for you, might not be easy for others - at least not for me.
coming from sketchup / 3ds max i find the navigation quite troublesome an non-logic but i just need to learn. and i do like everything else in octane.
or from enscape, which has a very simple fps navigation.

Of course everything has a learning curve

What I mean is if you don't know your center point for the camera you can get so lost that you can't find your way back. And then it is not "straight forward" as nothing will make sense.
