Axis rotation locking

Use the switches to lock or unlock rotation about each of the three axes (Tilt, Pan, Roll). This can be useful to simulate certain types of camera movement.

Motion Scale and axis position locking

You can change the motion scale to multiply the tracked motion along a given local axis. This can be useful if there is limited physical space, or to simulate the motion from a crane or a drone.

You can also select the lock icon beside each axis icon to lock or unlock the position along this axis. For example, to simulate a tripod, lock all three axes.

Focal Length

Change the focal length of the camera using focal length dial. Open the dial with the focal length button on the right control bar. Rotate the dial to change the value. The current focal length is displayed in the HUD under ZOOM.

Changing the focal length sets the distance, in millimeters, between the camera sensor and the camera lens. Lower values result in a wider Field of View, and vice versa

Note: changing this value forces the Focus Mode to Manual.

Damping Settings

You can apply positional and rotational damping to the camera motion from your mobile device as well as from the server (in the Unity Editor).

Field	Function
Body	Time in seconds for the rig to reach the target position. You can set a different value on each axis.
Aim	Time in seconds for the rig to reach the target rotation. The value you set applies to all three axes.
Enabled	Enables or disables positional and rotational damping on all axes.

When you use a Cinemachine Camera Actor, the damping only applies in Play Mode.

Reset Pose and Lens

Pressing the Reset Pose button repositions the camera rig to its origin. This has no impact on the rotation of the camera.

Pressing the Reset Lens button resets the camera lens to its default settings.

Depth of Field

The depth of field can be controlled in two ways, using a manual dial, or by tapping to place a screen-space reticle. Note that the reticle position may optionally be set from the editor as well, by clicking in the gameview. | Dial - Manual Focus | Dial - Auto Focus | Focus Mode | | ----- | ----- | ----- | | | ||

Mode	Description
DoF Disabled	Disable Depth of Field
Manual	In this mode, tapping the screen will set the focus distance to the point under the placed reticle. Note setting the focus distance with the dial will automatically set the focus mode to Manual
Screen AF	In this mode, tapping the screen will place a persistent reticle that will constantly set the focus distance to the 3D point under the reticle. Note constantly calculating the focus distance under the reticle is performance intensive, so you may have to lower the quality of the video stream to maintain framerate
World AF	In this mode, tapping the screen will select the scene object under the reticle, if any. If an object is selected, focus distance will be continually updated to match this object's distance to the camera. Note To be selected, an object needs to use (a) material(s) including a pass matching one of the following tags: Forward, ForwardOnly, SRPDefaultUnlit, GBuffer, ForwardLit, Unlit, UniversalForward. Built-in SRP and ShaderGraph materials should be covered, remember to tag one of your passes when working with custom shaders.

When using Screen or World Auto Focus, the focus distance dial controls an offset applied to the automatically evaluated focus distance.

Timeline Control

If there is a Timeline assigned to in the Live Capture window top control panel, tap the timeline button in the botttom left to bring up a playback control radial slider. Scrub the radial slider to move through the playback.

Pressing record will automatically play the Timeline from the selected head position.

Note the playback progress bar at the top of the screen under the HUD.

Settings

Open the settings by tapping the Settings button in the top left of the HUD.
