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.
