The camera documentation can be found in the manual here: [Camera component manual](http://www.defold.com/manuals/camera/) and the API documentation here: [API reference (Camera)](http://www.defold.com/ref/camera/) ---

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. I have an example of how to move a camera across a tilemap. The code is here: [publicexamples/examples/drag\_to\_scroll at master · britzl/publicexamples · GitHub](https://github.com/britzl/publicexamples/tree/master/examples/drag_to_scroll) and a live demo here: [PublicExamples 0.0](http://britzl.github.io/publicexamples/drag_to_scroll/index.html) ---

> [@dav23330](#): > > and please tell me where to get things beginners Have you seen the Defold documentation here: [Introduction to Defold](http://www.defold.com/manuals/introduction/) We also have a Getting Started Tutorial here: [Defold tutorials](http://www.defold.com/tutorials/) And there are some video tutorials here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrkmFn86E5Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrkmFn86E5Y) If the above sources doesn’t cover what you’re interested to learn you need to be more specific so that we can point you in the right direction.

There are a ton of manuals available. If you are asking how to move the camera in the editor, then this one explains how to use the scene editor: [The Defold scene editor](http://www.defold.com/manuals/scene-editing/) When you get the hang of the editor you might want to try a couple of tutorials. Check out [Defold tutorials](http://www.defold.com/tutorials) ---
