Pikmin 2 camera parameters

In Pikmin 2, the files that define the camera's position and motion can be found in /user/NIshimura/Camera. There are six camera parameter files:
- caveCameraParms.txt - the camera in caves in the main story and Challenge Mode
- groundCameraParms.txt - the camera above ground in the main story
- 引きカメラcameraParms.txt - ?
- 撮影cameraParms - ?
- 本物 groundCameraParms - ?
- 本物caveCameraParms - ?
Each parameter file has two identical sets of parameters (CameraParms) for the camera in question, and then a set of parameters for vibrating the camera when a leader gets hurt or something is meant to shake the screen (VibrationParms).
CameraParms
This block has a large number of parameters that determine where the camera is at its various zooms and angles. All content in these parameters consist of two words. The first word is a number, 4 for numbers and -1 for strings. The second word is the actual value of the parameter - the one you can modify. Only numbers appear in these parameter files.
The comments indicate the angle of the camera in question. "Near", "Mid", and "Far" are comments representing zooms, "(Low)" and "(High)" are comments representing angles, and "ZOOM" is the special behind-leader camera activated by holding the R button in game. Each parameter reflects these comments by containing initials of the angle. For example, parameters about the near, low camera angle will contain "nl" in their name.

This block controls how the camera moves when the screen is meant to shake, such as when a leader is hurt or when a Wollywog lands.
To do: Figure out what these values actually are. Also figure out if there are different levels of camera shake.
