==The Sims==
In the original PC version of ''[[The Sims]]'', the camera was somewhat limited to an isometric perspective. There were four viewing angles, each of which was 90 degrees apart; and three zoom levels.

The camera is now in 3D, which allows the view to be rotated 360 degrees and tilted up and down. "The Sims 1 Style" of camera rotation can be selected in [[Game option#The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories|Game options]]. The UI controls, <code>,</code> and <code>.</code> keys, and <code>+</code> and <code>-</code> keys work as in ''The Sims'', although the 3D environment allows for smooth zooming instead of being limited to preset zoom levels. If the mouse has a scroll wheel, it can be used to zoom in and out. The camera can also be controlled by using the middle mouse button (if present), or by holding down the Ctrl button and the right mouse button. As in ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'', the camera can be brought to ground level.
 
The camera can be moved in many ways. One of which is [[Edge scrolling]], which is introduced for the first time and is carried onto newer games. The camera can also be panned with one of the arrow keys to respective direction. Holding two keys of opposing planes allows for diagonal panning. Lastly, clicking and holding Right Click will allow the camera move to the direction and speed, accordingly to the mouse movements.
 
Rotating the camera also have its own numerous control methods. Either by clicking the respective curved arrow from the camera control interface or pressing down the {{key|,}} or {{key|.}} key. While moving the move, pushing down the middle mouse button or by tapping and holding down the {{key|Ctrl}} key with the Right Click also allows for camera rotation. With this technique, it also allows for upper and downfall camera tilt.
