Camera.main

Description

The first enabled camera tagged "MainCamera" (Read Only).

The primary Camera in the scene. Returns null if there is no such camera in the scene. This property uses FindGameObjectsWithTag internally and doesn't cache the result. It is advised to cache the return value of Camera.main if it is used multiple times per frame.
