One of the most useful features in Blender is the ability to fly around in the 3D View using the camera controls. This can be extremely helpful when positioning the camera for a shot, or when exploring the scene to get a better idea of the layout.
To enter Camera fly mode, simply press the "F" key while in the 3D View. This will switch the camera controls from the standard view controls to the camera fly controls. To exit Camera fly mode, press the "F" key again.
The camera fly controls are very similar to the standard view controls, with a few key differences. First, the camera moves independently of the mouse cursor. This can take some getting used to, but it allows for much more precise camera movement.
Second, the camera can be rotated using the mouse wheel. This can be extremely helpful for getting just the right angle on a shot.
Finally, the camera fly controls include a "dolly" function. This allows the camera to move closer to or further away from the scene. This can be very helpful for framing a shot or for getting a better view of the scene.
To use the dolly function, simply hold down the "Shift" key while moving the mouse up or down. This will move the camera closer to or further away from the scene.
The camera fly controls can take some getting used to, but they are extremely powerful and can be a great help in getting just the right camera position.
