# Blender.Camera module and the Camera PyType object

"""
The Blender.Camera submodule

This module provides access to B{Camera Data} objects in Blender.

Example::

  from Blender import Camera, Object, Scene
  c = Camera.New('ortho').    # create new ortho camera data
  c.lens = 35.0                # set lens value
  cur = Scene.getCurrent().   # get current Scene
  ob = Object.New('Camera').  # make camera object
  ob.link(c).                 # link camera data with this object
  cur.link(ob).               # link object into scene
  cur.setCurrentCamera(ob).   # make this camera the active";
