Adjust the camera

The Preview shows what your application looks like and how it works. The quickest way to frame your scene is to do it in the Preview. The Preview has the following modes:

• Debug mode shows the structural information of your application and helps you detect issues and improve your application.
• Edit mode allows you to freely move around a scene, move and set cameras and other objects.

In this step you use the Preview Edit mode to move the camera and frame the scene of your application.

Frame the scene

1. If you are not already in the Edit mode, in the Preview click Edit.
   
   
2. Move around the scene in the Preview to frame the scene.
   When you move around the scene in the Edit mode you are using the free camera and not any of the cameras in the scene.
   To undo the change of position, click Edit to exit the Edit mode.
