Navigating When Locked

Often, the perspective view will be locked to the camera using the Lock button, so that the view tracks with the solved or seed camera. If you use a 3D navigation mode when the camera is locked, the lock will be removed (generally causing the background shot imagery to disappear), and the move will proceed from the initial camera position. If you cancel the navigation movement by right-clicking during it, the view will return to the initial position, and the lock and background shot imagery will be restored.

This behavior makes it easy to take a "quick peek" in the vicinity of the solved camera, to better view the geometry of nearby features.

If you use the Perspective Projection Screen Adjustment script to change the projection screen mode to Always, you will be able to still see the shot imagery, at the screen distance you have selected.
