DOF again

I don't know if its possible to create camera override to turn of DOF (similar to simulens maybe?). For me indicator in Studio is great but...to small. Sometimes most important objects in scene are not in the center of image:( Maybe some extra points in corners or DOF preview option as a plane (e.g similar to clipping planes).

By the way DOF pass for compositing purposes would be great

Cheers

You know you can manually adjust the focal point of a camera?

And specify where the camera is focused with viewport right click > "Focus to..." > click object?

And turn the f-stop up (e.g. 32) with lock exposure checkbox enabled to maximise depth of field?

And render out a z-depth pass?

And finally, switch the viewport to Perspective and you can see exactly where the camera target (=focus) is, and adjust it precisely using "Target distance" parameter in the camera options.
