Changing to Camera View

When setting up your camera shots, you can switch between Camera view, Perspective view, and the orthographic views as needed. Use Camera view to view the composite through the camera lens. In this view, you cannot see the camera itself.

Use Perspective view to see the position and orientation of the camera in the composite, but not the camera's point of view.

For more information about the other views, see Changing Composite Views.

When the camera is selected, the icon changes to display the camera's field of view, focal length, and pivot point.

Note: If you cannot see the camera icon in the active viewport, you can zoom the Perspective view (or one of the orthographic views) until the camera icon is visible. You cannot see the camera icon in Camera view.

The current view is saved with the workspace and restored the next time you open the file.
