Change Zoom Level of Follow Mode
I'm trying to closely track a robot's movement. Is there a way to adjust the zoom level of the GUI's follow function so the camera does stay on the robot and is also closer to the model?

The camera follow distance is hard-coded as variable origDistance to 8.0 meters in Camera::Update. You will have to build from source to change this value.
As an alternative, you can attach a camera sensor to your robot at a specified offset and use the Topic Visualizer to watch the camera images.

Is there a way to suggest this as a future feature? I'm thinking that once follow mode is activated and the camera zooms out to 8 meters, I'm thinking the mouse's zoom function ought to be active and the zoom should hold to the new value.

I just created a feature request for this on bitbucket; please vote for it if you would like this feature.
