See
Common Camera Parameters on page 5210 for a description of the common
camera parameters.
The distance from the camera to the target is displayed at the bottom of the
Parameters rollout. You can animate this parameter, or directly animate the
target object's location.
When you rename a target camera, the target is automatically renamed to
match. For example, renaming Camera01 to Rolli causes Camera01.Target to
become Rolli.Target. The target's name must have the extension .Target.
Renaming the target object does not rename the camera object.
Clicking the line that connects the camera and its target selects both objects.
However, region selection doesn't recognize the link line.
If a target camera is already selected, you add its target to the selection by
right-clicking the camera, and then choosing Select Target from the quad
menu > Tools1 quadrant. Or you can hold down the Ctrl key and click the
target to add it to the selection set.

Characteristics of Cameras
Real-world cameras use lenses to focus the light reflected by a scene onto a
focal plane that has a light-sensitive surface.
