Camera properties

Parameter	Description
position (required)	The position of the camera defined by a map point. It defines the JSON formats of the point and spatial reference objects. x x-coordinate measured along the east–west axis. Type: double y y-coordinate measured along the north–south axis. Type: double z z-coordinate measures height or elevation. Type: double spatialReference The spatial reference can be defined using a well-known ID (WKID). For a list of valid WKID values, see Coordinate systems and transformations. Type: string JSON syntax: { "x": <x>, "y": <y>, "z": <z>, "spatialReference": { <spatialReference> } }
heading (optional)	Set or update the camera heading property. Values range from 0 to 360 degrees, starting from north in the East, North, Up (ENU) reference system. Type: double
tilt (optional)	Set or update the camera tilt property, which is the rotation angle around the y-axis of the ENU reference system (rotating along the axis that passes through the plane's wings). Values range from 0 to 180 degrees. 0 is looking directly down and 180 is looking directly up. Type: double
roll (optional)	Set or update the camera roll property, which is the rotation angle around the x-axis of the ENU reference system (rotating along the axis that passes through the center of the plane from front to back). Values range from 0 to 360 degrees. A zero value is perfectly horizontal. Type: double
