How do I change the camera angle to get decent screenshots such as this:

?

I know that page up and page down change the height of the camera, but how do i move it to the side like above??

Sorry, I forgot i wanted to ask something else too:

In screenshots like the one above, how come the graphics are so good? On mine, the sov's warp engines are really pixelly. Is it because i am only using 1024x768 resolution and they are using something higher?

You use your F keys. F1-F5.

They dont do what I want.
F1 is top view..... F3 is normal and F4 is from enemies point of view

I want a screenshot like the picture in the previous post.

Any ideas/answers to any of the questions?

Sadly I've lost my manual but ...

If you are in chase mode (F2) then you can use Page Up, Page Down, Home, End and -, + to get your angles.

Press F2. This will show you the enemy ship. But, if you press F5, it will disable the lock-on and return you to looking at your ship.

Then use the various keys on the keypad to work yourself around your ship holding the shift key.
