Create a locator in center of world and align to the world. Parent the cam (and target , if there is one) to this locator. Then scale the locator.

You can scale all scene objects with this method.

In other packages these are called by other names like "empties." They are simply points-in-space. Used for things like eyeball-tracking ... or for things like this.

When you "scale" something, there are several ways that you can tell the computer to do it. One of those is, "around a particular point." So you can scale the position of the camera (and other things in the scene) around a chosen center-point. Separately, you can scale the sizes of things around other points, not just the (implied...) object-center points.

For precision, type-in numbers manually.
