Camera setting screw up

[nhnk01]

Often when I execute my rendering and especially when I start rendering an animation, my camera setup is being reset. Either it is randomly set to odd numbers or it is infinitely zoomed into the project. Trying to scroll back out or manually changing the camera numbers does not succeed in any results. Does anyone out there had the same issue before and found a working solution?
Thank you in advance for any good tips

I would like to add that it doesn`t matter if I lock the camera or not.

It sounds like you may need to edit your animation camera. Find your animation camera in the scene tree and edit it to the appropriate position. You can do this by right clicking on the camera and hit "Set as active camera".  Then under the camera settings tab, click the "Edit Mode" button (looks like a camera and a pencil) and position the camera where you need it. Hope this helps.
