## Quick Way to Change the Camera
If you want to quickly change the camera, an easy way is to turn on the camera icon, like so:

When you change the position of the camera, don't forget to check the position of the focus plane (blue rectangle), see [Focus](/building-blocks/scenes/camera/focus.md).
{% endhint %}
