Hello. I wanted to ask if it’s possible with the babylon camera to perform a kind of “field of view compensation” - so if the FOV is changed, the object stays in the same position. this is the kind of effect I am after - ![fotografie-lenzen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/9/f/9f45ce20e53369297d8e15bfd7cda7a0d5e1ec02.gif) so you can see the effect the changing of the value on the camera’s perspective, but without the object moving in 3d space. ---

Hi, Yes it’s doable, you can change camera fov and distance from subject > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#9K4WAL%231)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes (here when you zoom in/out the fov updates so the object keeps its original size on screen) ---
