# usesOrthographicProjection

A Boolean value that determines whether the camera uses an orthographic projection.

## Declaration

```swift
var usesOrthographicProjection: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value of this property is false, specifying a perspective projection. In a perspective projection, equally sized objects nearer to the camera appear larger than those farther away. Set the value of this property to true to specify an orthographic projection. In an orthographic projection, equally sized objects appear equally sized regardless of distance from the camera. To control the magnification factor of an orthographic camera, use its orthographicScale property.
