System Information
Operating system: Darwin-20.4.0-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-24 16:25, hash: blender/blender@02948a2cab
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
On page:

Follow Track Constraint

in the section Options, and the property Camera, there is a bracketed text line:

if active an empty scene camera is used

What does it exactly means? I don't understand it. I think the grammar is wrong here.

Maybe some words got mixed up, if empty, the active scene's camera is used would make sense in the context, but I haven't checked if that's the actual behaviour.

That seems to be correct, I will update the documentation.
