Global camera for multiple 3D layers

Hello!
How can apply my global scene camera to multiple 3D layers? I have a 3D scene with several 3D layers, all of them have its own effects settings and blending options. I can place camera node only in hierarchy of one of these layers and this camera will work only for the objects of this layer. But how can I apply camera globally?
Thank you!

Hi,

on the Layer Root where you select your Camera, open the drop down. There you'll see two categories:
'Local Cameras' shows you the cameras in that Layer.
'3D Layers' shows you the names of other 3D Layers in the scene.

What that does: select a local camera, and the layer will use that camera node. Select another 3d Layer and the layer will apply the camera that is selected on this layer.

Example:
3DLayer named 'A' holds two camera nodes (Camera1 and Camera2). On Layer 'A' select 'Local Cameras' Camera1.
On 3DLayer named 'B' select '3DLayers' 'A' . Now 'B' will listen to the selection you made on 'A'. Means it will now use Camera1, but when you switch to Camera2 on 'A', 'B' will also use Camera2
