Auto Preview Check Box

When this check box is on, the Preview window is auto- matically updated when the parameters such as Depth of Field (F. Number) or D.O.F. control (for Front D.O.F. and Rear D.O.F.) in the Depth of Field tab are changed.

Depth of Field Tab

Depth of Field

Specify the depth of field using an F. Number. A smaller value will increase the degree of blur.
Each time you click the spin button next to the F. Number text box, the value will be changed in multiples of the square root of 2, as it is for a real single-lens reflex camera.
When the F. Number is set to less than 0.001, it will be corrected to 0.001
When the Use Joint check box is on, the value of the joint in the DepthPlus Controller is used.

D.O.F. Control

Depth of Field can be controlled for the Front or Rear depth of field individually. When 1.0 is specified, the blur is totally eliminated.
When the Use Joint check box is on, the value of the joint in the DepthPlus Controller is used.

Background

When the Reflect check box is off, no blur is applied to the background . The Distance parameter allows you to specify the distance to the background.

Effect Tab

Diaphragm

The shape of the aperture can be custom- ized .

Shape

You can select from Circle, Triangle, Quadrangle, Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, Octagon, or Enneagon. The process will be slightly delayed except in the case of Circle.

Edge Blur

Smoothing

When the aperture shape is a polygon, it can be rounded off. Specifying 1.0 will make the polygon a perfect circle.
