It can be adjusted using Move & Rotate tools, to alter its position and rotate angle. With the picture-in-picture feature, you can edit the scene while previewing the composition and rendering effects from different perspectives.

Supports setting custom shortcut key for creating and activating cameras.

In addition to the existing parameters such as focal length, field of view, and depth of field, it added more camera aspect ratio options, which allows you to preset ratios of 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 and the vertical ratios.

After activating the camera, you can control the camera from all angles, and save records with the scene list. In the final rendering, you can directly adjust the camera’s parameters for rendering to maintain the composition ratio.
