Hello everyone!

In this basic Blender tutorial, we'll learn how to set the depth of field for the virtual camera, ensuring only one specific point in the scene remains in focus while blurring areas closer or farther from that point.

We'll also see how to preview the camera's focus point and the blur applied by the depth of field directly in the 3D Viewport.

This tutorial was created using Blender version 4.3 and focuses solely on the Camera object's properties, not the Defocus option in Compositing, which I may cover in a future video.
