When you have the output you want, copy it and paste into the following:
AbsoluteOptions[<<paste here>>, {PlotRange, ViewCenter, ViewPoint,
ViewVertical}]
which will give you the values of these options resulting from your
manipulations. There are quite a lot of AbsoluteOptions apart from these;
you might wish to specify some additional ones if you've e.g. adjusted the
image size and want to preserve this as well.
