Star Citizen Camera Controls Tutorial

An in-depth guide to the Star Citizen in-game camera system or "Advanced Camera Controls". I go into great detail on all the camera options & controls including Depth of Field (DOF), Field of View (FOV), Offsets, Zoom & Freelook while referencing real-world photography terms & techniques & pointing out restrictions & oddities along the way. This is meant to be a definitive guide on the entire camera system.

I’d like to thank my fellow crackpot camera junkies and friends for helping me out. People like Rellim, Weehamster, Captain Raoul, Narayan, Monk, DamnShame and a whole bunch of others have been sharing anything and everything we learn about the Star Citizen camera system with each other for years now. My complete Star Citizen camera system tutorial was my effort at combining our collective knowledge into a more comprehensive and accessible format to aid all players in their Star Citizen photography endeavors.

My English subtitles were, or are in the process of being, translated manually by volunteers in the Star Citizen community into the following languages:
Dutch, French, German, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish

A special thanks to the following people who helped with translations:
ArieNeo, Darjanator, IronEagle, Narayan, Pewbaca, Utho Riley, vahadar
