Work with Cameras
A camera contains a list of viewpoints, and an optional list of keyframes to
describe how the viewpoints move.
If no camera keyframes are defined, then the scene uses the current views in
the Scene View. If a single keyframe is defined, the camera moves to that
viewpoint, and then remain static throughout the scene. Finally, if multiple
keyframes are defined, the camera is animated accordingly.
You can add a blank camera, and then manipulate the viewpoints, or you can
copy an existing viewpoint animation straight into your camera.
NOTE Each scene can only have one camera in it.
