Unable to change into first person camera mode

For some reason I cannot change into first person camera in Skyrim.

I've tried reassigning the button to no progress. Is this a bug that can be fixed or must I deal with it?

Frequently I find I have to tap 'f' a few times or as noted above flick my mouse wheel back and forth before it will respond and slide into first person.

Try this mod: Dawnguard 3rd person Fix.

A small command line tool to fix the "Stuck in Third person" bug occurring to some people in Dawnguard...

This bug is for some reason caused by a stuck "dlc1playervampirechangescript" inside the savegame, it is easily fixed with a hex editor, but for people who do not know how to use them i made this.

Try reloading the game from a previous save. If it doesn't work the first time, try at least 3 times. This is not a guaranteed fix.

PS3 user here. Had the same problem. Went into werewolf form. Then when I changed back, it was working again.
