# How to set the 'Depth of Field' effect?

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Similar to real-world cameras, Depth of Field is based on distance, blurring the scene in front of and behind the focal point.</mark>

1. When you turn on the depth of field and select the focus point in the camera, the effect of auto follow focus will be enabled by default.&#x20;

> Open the depth of field option, click on **"Set Focus"**, and click on the object you want to focus on in the scene to determine the focus position. Meanwhile, it supports one-click auto focus feature.

2. After cancelling the **"Follow Focus"** option, you can fill in the value to set the distance to the focus plane manually.
3. Adjust the **"Blur"** parameter to change the strength of the depth of field effect.

This effect can also be achieved in combination with **Effect-Style-Z Depth**.
