    It is located under the Transform properties.

    If it is not under the Transform Properties then it means you have a One-Node Camera.
    Double click on the Camera in your Timeline to open Camera Settings and change the Type from One-Node to Two-Node.

    Your Point Of Interest option will appear.

    You can also press ctrl+alt+o with the camera layer selected to open the Auto-Orient dialog. This dialog is also accessible by right clicking and going to Transform > Auto-Orient…

    These options reflect the one/two node options in the camera dialog with an added option for orienting to the camera’s motion path.
