Camera in Unity acts as the player's viewpoint into the game world, capturing scenes much like a real camera. It defines the field of view, perspective, and what is visible on the screen. Cameras can transform between world and screen space, control projection settings for depth and perspective, specify rendering settings, and manage culling properties. For comprehensive functionalities, explore Unity's Camera documentation. Unity's Camera Documentation
