How do I freeze camerapositions? It always happens that I choose the wrong navigation and then my camera moves instead of my 'normal view'.

I find I often have to do that to the attributes under the cameraShape part in the channel box too, can't remember any of their names but stuff that gets effected when you scroll the mouse wheel etc.
