FOV (Field of View)

FOV panel

FOV controls how wide or narrow the camera's view is — like zooming in or out.

How to Control FOV​

Hold FOV Up or FOV Down (default: D-Pad Up/Down). The zoom ramps over ~0.55 s, then sweeps to min or max angle.

FOV Panel Settings​

Min / Max Degrees​

  • What they do: The range of zoom — narrowest (telephoto) and widest (wide-angle) angles.
  • In practice:
    • Wide max (e.g. 90°) — More of the scene visible, good for establishing shots.
    • Narrow min (e.g. 15°) — Tight zoom, good for details or dramatic close-ups.
  • Blender default: 50°.

Sweep Time​

  • What it does: How long it takes to zoom from current angle to min/max when holding the button.
  • In practice: Shorter = quick zoom. Longer = gradual, cinematic zoom.

FOV Response Time​

  • What it does: Smoothing of FOV changes.
  • In practice: Higher = smoother zoom transitions. Lower = more immediate.

When to Adjust​

  • Wide range — If you want dramatic zoom-ins/outs (e.g. 15°–90°).
  • Narrow range — If you only need subtle zoom (e.g. 40°–60°).
  • Sweep time — Match to your shot style: quick cuts vs slow reveals.
