	If your only camera settings are "location" and "look_at", then the
field of view (focal length) will change when these values change.
The best way to control directly the FOV is with the angle keyword, e.g:

camera {
   location -z
   look_at  0
   angle    40
}

	For more details on camera parameters, I can only refer you to the
documentation (section 2.3.1):
