Tumble

Revolves the camera around a center of interest (such as a particular object), or the camera’s pivot point (which, by default, is the center).

To adjust the way in which the Tumble tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Track

Slides the camera horizontally or vertically in space.

To adjust the way in which the Track tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Dolly

Moves the camera into the view, or backs the camera out of the view. When you use the Dolly tool, you change the perspective; that is, objects far from the camera change in relative size at a slower rate than objects which are close to the camera. Compare to Zoom (see Zoom).

You can use the Dolly tool in a perspective view or an orthographic view.

To adjust the way in which the Dolly tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Zoom

Changes the focal length (viewing angle) on the camera. The Zoom tool does not change perspective like the Dolly tool does; all objects in the frame change size at the same rate. The camera doesn’t move, but the effect is similar. To move in or out of the view without changing the viewing angle, see Dolly.

To adjust the way in which the Zoom tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Roll

Rotates the camera around its horizontal axis, down the barrel of the lens.

To adjust the way in which the Roll tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Azimuth Elevation

Revolves the camera around a point of interest in perspective view only.

The angle of a camera’s sight line relative to the ground plane is called its elevation; the angle of a camera’s sight line relative to a plane perpendicular to the ground plane is called its azimuth.

To adjust the way in which the Azimuth Elevation tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Yaw-Pitch

Points the camera up or down (pitch, also called tilt), or left or right (yaw, also called pan) without moving the camera. The scene in the camera’s view appears to move in the opposite direction.

To move the camera up or down or side to side, use the Track tool.

To adjust the way in which the Yaw-Pitch tool works, see View > Camera Tools.

Fly

Flies the camera through the scene with no constraints. The Fly Tool lets you navigate your scene as if you were playing a 3D first-person perspective game.

To use the Fly Tool, +drag up to fly forward and down to fly backward. To change the camera direction, release the key and drag.
