Tip: Hold down the Ct rl key to magnify the effect
of the mouse on perspective adjustment.
A t arget camera can pass through its target object
while you are using Perspective. When this
happens, the FOV reaches its maximum angle
of 180 degrees at the target location and cursor
motion is reversed until you release the drag.
A free camera continues moving along an infinite
path but uses an implied target position to control
the FOV change r ate. This implied t arget is defined
as a point specified by the Target Distance field in
the Parameters rollout for the free camera.
