Property Description
Field of View The height of the Camera’s view angle.
Dynamic Clipping Check this box to make Unity calculate the Camera’s near and far clipping planes relative to the viewport size of the Scene.
Clipping Planes The distances from the Camera where Unity starts and stops rendering GameObjects in the Scene.
Near The closest point to the Camera that Unity renders GameObjects.
Far The furthest point from the Camera that Unity renders GameObjects.
Occlusion Culling Check this box to enable occlusion culling in the Scene view. This prevents Unity from rendering GameObjects that the Camera cannot see because they are hidden behind other GameObjects.
Camera Easing Check this box to make the Camera ease in and out of motion in the Scene view over the time set by Duration. This makes the Camera ease into motion when it starts moving (instead of starting at full speed), and ease out when it stops.
Duration The length of time in seconds that it takes for the Camera to accelerate to its initial full speed, which is set by the Camera Speed.
Camera Speed The current speed of the Camera in the Scene view.
Min The minimum speed of the Camera in the Scene view. Valid values are between 0.01 and 98.
Max The maximum speed of the Camera in the Scene view. Valid values are between 0.02 and 99.

Tip: To reset the properties to their default values, click the cog icon in the top right corner of the Camera settings menu and select Reset.

In Flythrough mode, you can change the speed of the Camera while moving. To do this, use the mouse scroll wheel or drag two fingers on a trackpad.

You can also configure the Camera in script with the SceneView.CameraSetting API.
