Depth of field

Is there a way to adjust a Depth of field of the camera without changing brightness of the image? Like it can be done in regular UE Camera when you are changing aperture. And if no is it possible to add this option to fake depth of field so you can adjust better the final picture without carrying to much about phisyc of the light.

Hey, thank you for your question!

You can set the Auto Exposure Mode to Aperture Priority. This way you can set the amount of the Depth of Field via the Aperture, while Cinematographer still exposes realistically. If you want full control over the Depth of Field without any physical constraints, I guess you should just use the Unreal Default camera, since Cinematographer was build exactly to avoid unrealistic settings. You would then just try to work against it and that wouldn’t make much sense. I hope that information helps!
