Hello!

Here is the [playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#DWPQ9R#1879). When I change from ArcRotateCamera to FreeCamera, the screen shows different. So, how to set freeCamera’s position and rotation ( maybe should set target too?), to make these two camera render the same picture.

Thanks.
