> This page explains how the FPS camera works in the pack.
**AC\_FirstPersonCamera** is an Actor Component used to apply camera animations, recoil shakes, free look, and FOV updates at runtime.
## Initialization
First, specify that the **Camera** will be animated. Use the default `Camera` component that comes with `ACharacter`.
Then, update the player mesh reference:
## Free Look
Free look is implemented by calling these methods on the Tactical Camera:
And by controlling player look input:
**Note:** During free look, only the camera should receive look input.
## FOV
The camera also updates the FOV when aiming:
This logic switches between aiming and non‑aiming FOV states; the component handles FOV interpolation under the hood.
## Camera Shakes
The `Play Camera Shake` function is used to play shakes when firing:
`DA_FirstPersonCameraShake` is a Data Asset that contains shake settings:
* **Rotation Curve**: Camera rotation animation.
* **Pitch**/**Yaw**/**Roll**: Range of the pitch/yaw/roll value.
* **Smoothing**: Interpolation speed.
* **Play Rate**: Playback speed multiplier.
