Orthographic Cameras Far Far Away

The perspective and orthographic camera are not created in the same way. This is just a quick note about the difference at creation since it can be quite disturbing to some users.

Here is a little usecase:

• First create a sphere, and change its scale to 3000.
• Then create a perspective camera throught the viewport Panel menu.
• Then create an orthographic camera throught the same menu.

Notice how your orthographic cameras are very very far away while the persp is just always at the same place ?

It is related to the viewSet command. The flags regarding the orthographic views always zoom out a lot to get a hold on all objects and make them visible to the users.

Yes, it is normal and nothing is wrong with your setup.
