So… how do you control your camera?

Super confused beginner here. I’ve gotten pretty much of the basics down except for one thing… the damn camera.

I’ve read and learned from posts on how to toggle between locked/semi-locked/unlocked camera, but I can never figure out how to control it. For context, I play a with a semi-locked camera because locked/unlocked throws me off completely. My problem with semi-locked, on the other hand, is that it shifts even with the slightest of movement from my mouse, so instead of making my champion walk to a certain place, I lose track of them because my camera decides to shift away from them.

Any advice on how to work around this? Maybe how to not direct my camera to where I don’t want it to go? Do I just have to get used to it? I’m so confused.

EDIT: I wasn’t expecting this to get a lot of replies so I haven’t responded to any because I was overwhelmed. Nevertheless, I’ve read and appreciated all of them! Lately, I’ve been doing the lock-unlock strategy… it’s a work in progress!
