Making the Scene Larger or Smaller

Adjusting the CameraViewAngle property makes the view of the scene larger or smaller. Larger angles cause the view to encompass a larger area, thereby making the objects in the scene appear smaller. Similarly, smaller angles make the objects appear larger.

Changing CameraViewAngle makes the scene larger or smaller without affecting the position of the camera. This is desirable if you want to zoom in without moving the viewpoint past objects that will then no longer be in the scene (as could happen if you changed the camera position). Also, changing the CameraViewAngle does not affect the amount of perspective applied to the scene, as changing CameraPosition does when the figure Projection property is set to perspective.
