This is a container group; its children are:
| Action camera | Camera jumps to scenes of intense action, often from alternate angles with slow motion to show something Awesome happening. Often as part of player defeating the final opponent currently aware of them. | 1998 / 2015 | 51 games |
| Cinematic camera | Offers a cinematic camera mode where the camera jumps around showing more or less interesting happenings in the game world from supposedly interesting angles, attempting to give cinematic impression of the events. | 1994 / 2017 | 18 games |
| Distorted vision | Something can cause the protagonist's vision to get distorted or otherwise impaired. Especially cases where the vision is always distorted | 1994 / 2020 | 220 games |
| No camera pan | Despite not using 90 degree top-down view (and being 3D), there's no way to pan the camera. (too short) | 2009 / 2013 | 8 games |
| Screen shake | The player's view and/or interface shakes. | 1984 / 2020 | 303 games |
| Screen staining | Character's vision, vehicle's windshield, etc. can stain and obscure vision. Either temporarily, until cleaned or even permanently. | 2009 / 2015 | 44 games |
| Unsteady camera | The camera moves about on its own. Likely to give sense that you're seeing the things from someone's or something's eyes or from a camera carried around by someone than the artificial fixed view you normally have. | 2010 / 2015 | 10 games |
