Moving and Rotating Cameras in the 3D View

To move or direct a camera to a certain point, activate this camera and then rotate or walk using the Walk Control or shortcuts. When you are satisfied with the view from the camera, deselect it by clicking on some other object, the ground or the sky.

As long as a camera is activated and changes its position in 3D when you move, the 3D view displays a camera icon in the top right corner.
