Depth of field is available in the Camera PropertyManager only when PhotoView 360 is added in.
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.
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:
None
Near
Middle
