Description

Puts the camera in orthographic view mode.
Orthographic is (according to Wikipedia):
... a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions...

The Std OrthographicCamera command switches the camera in the active 3D View to orthographic view mode. In this mode, objects that are further from the camera do not appear smaller than those that are closer.
