The Camera tab in FC 26 lets you choose how the match is framed and how much of the pitch you see.
Pick a base camera that fits your playstyle, then fine-tune height/zoom and optional effects like Power Shot Zoom for the perfect view.

Quick Tuning Tips
- If you lose track of depth on crosses, lower Zoom or raise Height for more area view.
- Defending high lines? Increase Height so you see runs in behind sooner.
- Struggling in the box? Add a little Penalty Area Zoom (2–4) for finishing clarity.
- Feeling motion-sick on Pro? Reduce Pro Camera Swing and Speed.
- For consistency across stadiums, enable UT Competitive Camera in Ultimate Team.
FAQ
What is the best camera for competitive play?
Most players prefer Tele Broadcast with moderate Height and low Zoom, or they enable UT Competitive Camera for consistency across stadiums.
Do custom camera settings apply to every mode?
Yes, but some online modes may enforce specific options (e.g., UT Competitive Camera) to keep matches fair and consistent.
Why don’t Far Side Focus or Penalty Area Zoom change anything on Pro?
Those options do not apply to Pro, Dynamic, or End to End. Use the Pro-specific Zoom/Speed/Swing to tune that view.
Will Power Shot Zoom affect gameplay speed or input timing?
No, it is purely visual. If you find it distracting, set Power Shot Zoom to Off.
