# Camera Controls and Settings in IGC

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: The payload controls seen below are found in IGC 1.6 and later. Instructions on how to update IGC can be found [here](/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/inspired-ground-control-igc/how-to-update-install-igc.md). 
{% endhint %}

## New Feature: Tap to Move Gimbal

When enabled, tapping on the screen moves the camera to that location.
