How to Set the Camera Distance in World of Warcraft

In "World of Warcraft" players have a third-person perspective where the camera is situated behind their character, allowing them to see their character's immediate surroundings. All players have the ability to adjust the distance between the camera and their character in order to fit personal preference or specific situations. While playing by themselves, players may prefer having the camera closer to the character and when in group dungeons or raid, it is more useful to have the camera much farther back. Knowing how to adjust this quickly can make transitions quick and effective.
