The Camera item can be selected from the 3D viewport when in Item selection mode or directly from within the Item List. With the Camera item selected the Render Properties viewport will display the various controls available. At the top of this property form are the item transforms for numerically controlling the Position and Rotation of the camera as well as the Reset pulldown for resetting these values. The tranform control section also contains the Sync to View option which will move and rotate the camera to match the currently selected non-Camera 3D viewport.
When editing the camera in the 3D viewport it is advised to use the Item Transform tool (Hot Key = Y) with the Action Center and Axis set to Selection. This will provide you with handles at the center of the Camera and will also provide you with a handle to adjust Focal Distance directly in the 3D viewport.
By setting the tool to use Advanced handles the Transform tool will also allow you to interactively control f-Stop and Focal Length in the 3D view. This will also display the focal range on the camera frustrum. This is incredibly useful when setting up projects with Depth of Field.
RMB click on the V (visibility) column for the Transform tool and set to Advanced.
The light blue handles allow direct control over focal distance, fStop and Focal Length. Note the frustrum now indicates the near and far plane for the focus area.
Below the Camera transform options are settings for the camera attributes including the Projection Type, Focal Length, Film Width/Height, Film Offset, Film Fit, Lens Distortion amount, Focus Distance, Autofocus option, F-Stop and Blur length settings. While the properties viewport allows you to edit these values directly you can also edit several of these values in the 3D view by selecting the camera and activating the Item Transform tool (keyboard shortcut "Y"). The Transform tool allows you to interactively edit position, rotation and focus distance via 3D handles. When you are looking through the Camera in the 3D viewport you can also adjust the Focal Length by Ctrl-Alt-RMB dragging.
For more information about the Camera settings please refer to the Camera section.
