Cameras and views

This section shows cameras and how to work with them. In the exercise after this section you get to try a lot of the operations shown, so following the video along isn't strictly needed. But if you do want to then the file used is data/blender_basics/cameras.blend.

The backtick key on non-US keyboards

When working with cameras and views the View menu is used a lot. On US keyboard layouts you bring up this menu with the ` (backtick) key, which is left of the 1 key.

On non-US keyboard layouts (e.g. Italian) the backtick key might actually be at a different location, or might not be present at all. In this case, you can use the entries in the View > Viewpoint menu, or use the numeric keypad keys.
