Camera Object
You can add as many cameras to the scene as you wish. When you create a new camera (Objects >
Scene > Camera), the camera will adopt the position and focal length of the active view.
When placing and aligning a camera, CINEMA 4D uses the camera’s coordinate system. The X-axis and
Y-axis dene the focal or lm plane, and the Z-axis is the direction in which the camera is pointing.
In the viewports, the camera is shown as a cuboid with two spools of lm and a lens.
