We have worked under the assumption that Manta takes care of thread-safety for the Camera, but I'm not totally sure.

This is the case provided that the functions which modifies camera state is invoked by a transaction (or other manta callback). 


In the example, the UI event handler thread uses a manta transaction to invoke the mantaSetScene(...) function with specified arguments instead of calling the function directly. mantaSetScene will eventually be called in a safe manner by a different thread.
