It depends. Both the parent and child you are adding need to inherit from Node2D if it's a 2D scene you're working on, or Node3D if it's a 3D scene you're working on. To make it simple, all the "blue" nodes inherit from Node2D, and all the "red" nodes inherit from Node3D...That's the very simple and somewhat incomplete explanation.

In this page they are halfway through an example project, but I figured it'd be more useful in your situation.

However, here's the class reference doc: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.1/classes/class_camera3d.html It might not help illuminate this particular issue, but it is a good habit to refer to these. There's often a helpful method in a class like Camera that can point you in the right direction.
