  What defines the size of the projection window is the distance between
the location of the camera and the look_at point (plus other settings).
If you change just the location parameter to be farther away and leave
the look_at unchanged, this will make the projection window larger. That's
probably what was confusing you.

  If you want to move the camera without changing the size of the
projection window, use 'translate' at the end of the camera block.
