The Change Camera button pops up a new window from where you can enable or disable a track Camera for the selected Segment. Currently, TKD3 allows only one Camera per Segment, however this limitation may change in the future.
The selected Camera can be modified directly from the Track Preview window: press the ‘t’ key on the keyboard and then select the new Camera position by clicking the mouse in the Track Preview window; TKD3 will move the Camera accordingly.
The Camera can be moved using the XYZ controls, too (the L control is currently unused); as with Objects, coordinates represent offsets from the Segment center line: 0, 0, 0 is the Segment starting position, a positive X value moves the Camera to the right of the Segment center line, a positive Y value increases the Camera altitude and a negative Z value moves the Camera along the Segment. In “perspective mode” you can move the first-person view to Camera position by pressing the ‘5’ key in the Track Preview window.
Note: in the future more options will be available to customize external track Cameras, those options will be available as additional controls in the "Move Camera" window (currently, you can modify only the Camera position)
