Camera angle

  I'm new here and wondering if there is a way to move the camera angle prior to taking your shot ?  Other than the zoom feature that gives you a view from up high and closer to the hole.  A lot of the times I don't like the angle that is automatically ?  set by the game.  Like when I'm putting I'd rather have the camera view in a straight line from the hole to my club face from behind my avatar.  I know you can switch view from opposite the hole but can you rotate camera view ?

  hi

  there are some views available via overhead + cameras, but nothing like green view from 200 yards away.

  The camera views are fixed, unfortunately, WGT took hundreds of thousands of photos for each course, in the main, the camera views work ok.

  Check out this camera angle at Congressional, the par 5, 6th hole this was the view i was given, if it had gone in it would have been one hell of a putt!!

  Actually, this does happen occasionally. When it does, I find it impossible to figure out which moving grid dots to judge.

  This is very much a problem on the new Manele course..the zoom feature still leaves you way off the green in most cases for your approach shots.

  Yes I can zoom in via my browser.but just more time consuming as opposed to most other courses.
