You can set the following preferences in the Cameras category of the Preferences window.
To return to the default factory settings, choose 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:
- Fit view
- Fit all view
- Go to bookmark
- Next/Last camera view
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.
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.
When enabled, the Auto-adjust orthographic camera clip planes checkbox allows orthographic cameras to automatically adjust their position and clipping plane when framing objects. Default=off
