Creates a two-node camera, which is a basic camera plus an aim-vector control for aiming the camera at a specified “look at” point.
Creates a three-node camera, which is a basic camera with the aim-vector control plus an up-vector control for rotating the camera.
Creates a default stereo camera.
If you have created and registered a custom rig in your scene, your custom rig also appears in this menu. See Create a custom rig and Custom Stereo Rig Editor for more information.
Creates a default multi-camera rig for stereo cameras.
If you have created a custom multi-camera rig in your scene, your custom multi-camera rig also appears in this menu. See Create a multi-camera rig and Multi-Camera Rig Tool for more information.

A free image plane is an image plane that is not attached to the camera; one that you can select and transform in your scene. Select this option to create a free image plane.
A free image plane adjusts its size to match the image resolution ratio when you load a new image. See Editing and aligning free image planes for more information.
For more information on image plane attributes, see Image plane attributes.
Rendering of free image planes is currently not supported by the Maya software renderer.
An attribute on the locator shape node allows you to change the locator’s local scale; that is, you can change the size of the locator (without affecting any objects that are parented or constrained to the locator).
Deleting annotations does not remove the corresponding locator node from the scene. To delete the locator node, do one of the following:
