Create Camera From View creates a Target camera whose field of view matches an active Perspective viewport. At the same time, it changes the viewport to a Camera viewport for the new camera object, and makes the new camera the current selection.

Creating a camera object to match a Perspective view
Alternatively, if the scene already contains a camera and the camera is selected, then Create Camera From View behaves the same as Match Camera to View.
Note: Create Camera From View is available only when a Perspective viewport is active.
To create a camera from a view, assuming any existing cameras are unselected:
- Activate a Perspective viewport.
- If necessary, adjust the viewport using Pan, Zoom, and Orbit, or the ViewCube, until you have a view you like.
- Leaving the viewport active, on the Views menu choose Create Camera From View or press +C.
3ds Max creates a new camera, matching its view to that of the Perspective viewport, and then switches the Perspective viewport to a Camera viewport, showing the view from the new camera.
