What is "camera rolling" on certain mounts?

[Ashantara.8731]

There is a new option in the general settings, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it does.

Anyone?

it isn't new, as far as I remember it's been there since PoF release. it sometimes makes the camera tilt with the mount. for some turning it on causes motion sickness

I don't get that effect (i.e., tilting) when I turn it on, though, hence my question.

I don't know what exactly it does and when, but can confirm it was there since pof release.

I remember reading somewhere that in order to get mounts 'look good' the devs had to change how moving animations are done in the game:On foot characters either move (at a certain speed) or not and the camera follows them at that same speed and everything is fine. However, at the high speeds of mounts the instant change from stationary to moving looks disruptive or 'jumpy', so they had to make the camera lag behind a bit and then accelerate to the full speed of the mount.

I'm guessing this option can dis/enable this feature.

It's most noticeable on the Skimmer, Skyscale, and Gryphon when the camera is turned to the side. You won't notice it straight from the back.
