Depth of Field

Depth of field is available in the Camera PropertyManager only when PhotoView 360 is added in.

Camera_DOF_Focus_Planes.gif
Exact focus is displayed by a plane. Two lighter planes on either side of the focus plane show the limits of focus; objects are more and more noticeably out of focus from those planes outwards.
Camera_DOF_Contours_Only.gif
When you render contours only, depth of field is displayed with the contours moving from sharp to fuzzy.

Example of differences in depth of field:
