Maya camera manipulator tool axis orientation center of interest

Hello together,

my question is:
Do you know how I can change the Manipulator Tool axis orientation to object mode?
I have to move the Manipular based on the camera rotation next to an Object to change the center of interest to the object distance without rotate the camera.
Attached you will find a screenshot. The manipulator is set to axis orientation mode world.
When I translate the manipulator, I have to adjust 3 axis and this is the reason why the camera orientation changes.
Many thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Stefan

Hi,

 

I don't think you can switch the camera manipulator to object mode but you can just switch to the regular Move tool and use that. 🙂
