Use GTA 5’s camera-cycle control to switch between available views. To find the right button or key for your platform and control scheme, pause the game and open Settings → Controls; the binding can vary by edition or remapping. For separate preferred views on foot and in vehicles, enable Allow Independent Camera Modes under Settings → Display.

Change your camera view

  1. Pause the game. Rockstar says you can open settings from Story Mode or GTA Online.
  2. Choose Settings → Controls and find the camera-cycle control for your connected input device. Check any custom bindings rather than relying on a button listed for another platform or edition.
  3. Use that control during play to cycle through the available camera views.

Rockstar’s settings guide identifies camera and display as settings categories, but the official sources do not provide a readable, dependable universal camera-toggle input for every current platform and control scheme. See Rockstar’s GTAV settings instructions for the menu route.

Keep different views for walking and driving

Open Settings → Display and turn on Allow Independent Camera Modes. Then select the view you prefer on foot and in a vehicle; the game can keep those choices independently. The option is documented in Rockstar’s camera guidance for GTAV and the Xbox One game help.

Adjust first-person settings for comfort

If you prefer first person, check the local Camera or Controls settings for options such as on-foot field of view and head bobbing. The documented Xbox One help also describes settings related to first-person cover, combat rolls, and ragdoll behavior. The exact options and labels depend on the game edition and platform.

First-person mode is documented for the PS4 release in both GTAV and GTA Online in Rockstar’s 2014 PlayStation Blog announcement. That historical announcement should not be taken as a feature list for every legacy release. Choose first or third person according to your preference for field of view and head movement; neither is a measured gameplay advantage.
