Graphical user interface is used to create and manage camera views. FGCamera dialogs can be launched using menubar item ''View/FGCamera (experimental)''.
 
Currently, there are three functional dialogs:
* Main,
* Camera creation,
* Current camera settings.

* "Options" button opens FGCamera's global settings dialog. This dialog is currently non functional.
* "Create new camera..." button opens new camera creation dialog.

* The active view can be renamed using input box below the list of cameras.
* Buttons "U" and "D" are used to rearrange camera views.
* "Delete" button removes the active camera.
* "Save" button saves all the cameras data to disk.
