# camera

As in traditional animation and film production, you use a Toon Boom Studio camera to “film” the action in a scene.

In Toon Boom Studio, you can use camera elements to:

- Zoom-in and zoom-out on your scene by changing the field-of-view (FOV).
- Create pans (using pegs).
- Move closer or farther (truck in and out) from the action in your scene (using pegs).
- Rotate through your scene (using pegs).

Toon Boom Studio interpolates the motion in your scene to create smooth transitions in your camera effects. Because Toon Boom Studio drawings are vector-based, you are able to preserve the quality of your images throughout the changes.

Toon Boom Studio can film a scene with only one camera. You can add additional cameras as a reference, but Toon Boom Studio can only use the camera you select from the Camera List toolbar button to film your scene. You must create all of the camera effects you want to use for the final movie in one camera.
