# Camera setup

Create an empty Game Object FPCameraSocket and CameraHolder. Then, parent your camera to the CamerHolder:

<figure><img src="/files/RT7o8aIEspcW3bl1qdR4" alt="" width="204"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**FPCameraSocket** will only be used to define the camera default position. This is useful, if you want to use procedural aiming for third-person view too.

**CameraHolder** is simply a camera parent object, which will be used for free aiming mechanic.

Now we need to add an **FPSCamera** script to the Camera. This script will procedurally apply camera animations and FOV changes:

**Camera Data** is a Scriptable Object, which defines FOV levels and smoothing:

* **Base FOV** defines default field of view.
* **Aim FOV** defines aiming field of view.
* **Fov Curve** defines how the FOV will change.
* **Aim Speed** defines FOV change speed.
* **Extra Smoothing** defines additional smoohing speed, applied on top of the Fov Curve. Note: if set to zero no smoothing is applied.

The camera setup is complete, and we can now move to the animation layers setup.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kinemation.gitbook.io/fps-animation-framework/tutorial/getting-started/camera-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
