Camera view while auto-walking

[Apple88]

Hi all, and forgive me for what's probably a trivial question. I've only recently gotten Skyrim after finally getting a PC capable of handling it. The last time I played a TES game was Morrowind, which brings me to my question. In MW, I remember that while I was using auto-walk (The C key), I was able to swivel the camera to a side or front view without altering my character's direction. It's been so long I don't remember how I did it, and after searching for an Skyrim answer can find nothing about it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a cheat or anything, just done by using specific keyboard keys and/or mouse. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and if so, how do I do it in Skyrim? It's just a very minor thing, but when walking a long distance I occasionally like to see how the armor looks from the front while walking, etc. Hopefully it's something simple.

I think it's a console command, TFC (for "toggle free camera" or something like that). I've used it while standing still to compose a screenshot, but I think it works while auto-walking.

That was possible in Oblivion also but they took that feature out of Skyrim for some reason. As NoobusExtremus wrote, we do have console commands for the time being. I find "animcam" (no quotes) works quite well for standing or walking.

Thanks so much. Animcam does it, and Freeflying Camera is pretty cool also. Thanks again
