            <p>In the Parameter pane, a camera has several tabs that offer different camera properties:</p>

            <p><strong>View</strong> - This tab contains several parameters that are controlled by the camera handles and a few that are not. This is where you can set the render <button>Resolution</button>, which in turn sets the frustum's aspect ratio. You can override this value with a Render Operator.</p>

            <p>You can also set the<button> Pixel Aspect</button> ratio for working with digital video and the <button>Shutter speed</button> for working with depth of field.</p>

            <p>Cameras also have a<button> Lens Curvature </button>setting for simulating realistic lens effects such as a fish eye lens. Note that this option will turn off micropolygon rendering in Mantra and should be used carefully.</p>

            <p><strong>Crop</strong> - These parameters let you focus on a smaller portion of the camera view. You can also rotate the camera around the line of sight.</p>

            <p><strong>Roto</strong> - This tab lets you set up a background clip for rotoscoping. An important tool when integrating live action and CG elements.</p>
