No lenses for the camera

Question

My version of blender has no lenses. Does anyone know why they might be missing? Here's a screenshot. Thanks.

In your image you are in the scene context.

The Perspective, Orthographic, and Panoramic lens options are located in the Camera context.

Note that this is only available when the camera is selected.

Okay, but now the movie camera icon is missing. – blendy blenderson Jun 13 '17 at 20:15
Between the chain and the checkerboard, I now have a wrench, a triangle and a circle. Why do they change? – blendy blenderson Jun 13 '17 at 20:19

The lenses (and camera options) are only available when the camera is selected. – Jun 13 '17 at 20:48

Are you talking about the preset camera lenses and lens settings? Those are under the camera menu.

I'm talking about the three lens types including orthographic that should be there, but there is no lens tab. – blendy blenderson Jun 13 '17 at 19:22
As you can see in my screenshot, there is no lens tab. – blendy blenderson Jun 13 '17 at 19:28

@blendyblenderson You should probably be watching some basic UI tutorials about Blender first, before diving into more complex stuff. – Duarte Farrajota Ramos Jun 14 '17 at 00:29
