+# CameraControl
+
+Controls the main camera of the scene, providing different views and camera options.
+
+The main camera is a GameObject at the top level of the scene containing a Camera component. You can configure the camera's parameters as usual. The script expects the following components to be also present:
+
+>CamSmoothFollow  
+CamMouseOrbit  
+CamSmoothLookAt  
+CamFreeView  
+CamFixTo  
+CamSmoothLookAtPointFromPos  
+
+These scripts provide the camera modes. They are controlled from CameraControl. Note that some of them are scripts from the Standard Assets with specific adjustments and modifications.
+
+#### Camera modes
+
+CameraControl provides six different camera modes, which are invoked from [CarInput][] through the public functions _Next_ and _SwitchTo_:
+
+__0 -__ Driver's View (_CamFixTo_)  
+__1 -__ Follow Vehicle (_CamSmoothFollow_)  
+__2 -__ Mouse View (_CamMouseOrbit_)  
+__3 -__ Static Position (_CamSmoothLookAt_)  
+__4 -__ Free Camera (_CamFreeView_)  
+__5 -__ Vehicle To Vehicle (_CamSmoothLookAtPointFromPos_)  
+
+In the [live demo][] you can use the keys C or F1-F6 to select the camera mode. Press H for help on further keys that controls the camera's movement and zoom.
+
+## CameraControl parameters
+
+The [CarInput][] script controls most of these parameters according to the user's input.
+
+__Target__: reference to the vehicle that is being followed. __It must contain a [CarCameras][] component.__
+
+__Target2__: optional reference to a secondary vehicle to be used in the _Vehicle to vehicle_ mode.
+
+__MapCamera__: optional reference to a camera showing a mini map. This camera is an orthographic camera with a SmoothFollow script configured to keep the camera pointing down above the vehicle.
+
+__defaultCamera__: camera mode to be used at startup.
+
+__showMirrors__: enables the mirrors (if available) in the Driver's view.
+
+__MirrorLeftTex, MirrorRightTex, MirrorRearText__: optional references to the GUITexture components that show the mirror images. Their containing GameObjects must have their transform configured to locate the textures properly on the screen.
+
+__enableImageEffects__: determines whether the referenced in the _ImageEffects_ list (below) are enabled or not.
+
+#### ImageEffects
+
+You can include the image effects of your choice (Component > Image Effects at Unity) in the main camera's GameObject. Optionally, you can reference these image effects here. This will allow all the effects to be enabled or disabled with the _enableImageEffects_ property, providing a "low quality" mode for the camera.
+
+The [live demo][] uses two image effects, _ColorCorrectionCurves_ and _ContrastStretchEffect_. The "low quality mode" can be toggled with the key F12, which also disables the shadows.
