	// Set the camera to be orthograpghic

camera.orthographic = true;

using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        camera.orthographic = true;
    }
}
import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	def Example() as void:
		camera.orthographic = true

Specifically for the main camera:

	// Set the main camera to be orthographic

Camera.main.orthographic = true;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        Camera.main.orthographic = true;
    }
}
import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	def Example() as void:
		Camera.main.orthographic = true
