Cameras preferences

You can set the following preferences in the Cameras category of the Preferences window.

To return to the default factory settings, choose Edit > Restore Default Settings in this window. Note that this resets the preferences in every category in the Preferences window.

Default Cameras

Sets the default Near clip and Far clip values for cameras. For more information, see Clipping planes.

Animate Camera Transitions

By default, the view Camera now animates the transition between camera positions.

Turn any of the animation transitions on or off:

To select the amount of time the transition takes, use the slider to set a value or type one in the box provided. You can choose a value from one-tenth of a second up to five seconds.

Note:

To increase performance, Maya animates fewer frames when animating camera transitions in large scenes.

View Fit

Adjust the default Fit Factor value to specify the percentage of the view that should be filled with the framed items when either Frame Selection (hotkey F) or Frame All (hotkey A) is executed. This value determines how closely the camera zooms into the objects when framing selected or all objects.

For Frame Selection, you can override this setting for only one particular instance by executing the viewFit command with the -fitFactor flag. See Frame selected objects.
