This is an in-depth look at the Star Citizen in-game camera system and Director Mode that debuted in Star Citizen Alpha 2.6.0. I've spent almost three months learning the ins and outs of the new camera system with the help of some fellow Star Citizen camera junkies and wanted to create a detailed but easy to follow camera tutorial.

And a BIG thanks to my fellow crackpot camera junkies for helping me out. People like Rellim, Monk, and the DamnShames group along with myself have been sharing anything and everything we learn about the Star Citizen camera system with each other.
