'''Six Axis''' - offers full camera control on all axes, akin to moving a spacecraft in zero gravity. This is the most powerful free look option but is the most challenging to use.
'''None''' - turns off the camera modification, showing you the original in-game camera

'''Speed''' - controls how fast you move.


'''Field of View''' - controls the aspect ratio of the camera.  The X and Y axis are independently changeable but changing them both at the same time will create a zoom effect.  Higher zoom out ratios will lead to a fish-eye type effect.
'''Field of View''' - controls the aspect ratio of the camera.  The X and Y axis are independently changeable but changing them both at the same time will emulate a zoom effect.  As the field of view x and y values get smaller this will lead to a fish-eye type camera effect.  Doing both a zoom-out and a move in, (or vice versa) leads to a cinema effect called the "Dolly Zoom".
 
'''Other''' - options not related to movement.  This includes a way to reset your position and rotation back to the in-game camera or to toggle off the free look camera temporarily.
