Description

I love the always on follow camera enhancement, but there are some sequences in which it causes visibility issues, or where the default camera allows for a better overview. Additionally, whenever "always on" is active, it also causes some camera issues on the title screen sequence.

Going to the lighthouse menu to disable it is annoying, so I want to suggest replacing "always on" with a "toggle on/off" option.

This means the follow camera button now activates "always follow" whenever the button is pressed once, and disables it when pressed again.

A simple message saying "follow camera on/off" could also be displayed when the button is pressed.

Research direction

Start by locating the follow camera button and the current "always on" setting, then reproduce the visibility and title-screen camera issues described in the report. The change is done when pressing the button alternates follow-camera behavior and displays a clear on/off message if included.
