Camera control is a named feature on the model's own tag list here, not a generic "cinematic" style claim: the 6 models below are the video generators whose features explicitly say so.
It is a different capability from motion control a few rankings down, which puppeteers a subject from a driving video rather than directing the shot itself — the two published model sets do not overlap.

Guides
Matching generated footage to real camera footage
Mixed edits break on grain, grade, focal length and motion blur. The order to fix them in, and the one thing you cannot repair in post.
Describe the camera or hand it a reference clip
Which camera moves survive as text, which get silently approximated, and what a motion-reference clip costs you in framing freedom. With a three-bucket rule.
Put the camera first: prompt order that holds framing
Leading a video prompt with shot size and angle changes the framing you get back. A five-slot shot-card skeleton you can fill for any shot, in order.
How to repeat a camera move across takes
Slow dolly is re-estimated on every generation. Parameter-based camera control and endpoint framing are the two ways to lock one move across a whole sequence.
