What is DOF effect?
Depth of Field effect is the blur effect or ‘bokeh’ observed in out-of-focus areas in our field of vision. It is well known in lens photography and it is definitely a nice way to detach an object from the background, redirect the attention to certain areas of the scene or simply to add a beautiful artistic touch.
What is DOF in graphics?
Depth of field is the effect in which objects within some range of distances in a scene appear in focus, and objects nearer or farther than this range appear out of focus.
What is background blur called?
Bokeh
What is Bokeh? Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph.

Does ISO affect DOF?
alan_olander. ISO only affects DOF in that a higher ISO allows you to use a smaller f/stop in a given situation and vice versa. Increased DOF with DSLRs has to do with lens focal length and image size.
What is shadow quality?
The shadow quality controls the definition of the shadow edges. The shadow bias controls the amount of extraneous shadow or darkening of surfaces. Creates shadows with soft edges and almost no extraneous shadow. Low Shadow Quality with Low Bias. Creates shadows with soft edges and noticeable darkening of surfaces.
How do you use DOF?
Start at the widest maximum aperture that your lens allows (a small f-stop such as f/3.5) then press and hold down the DOF preview button. Then, close down the aperture by increasing the f-stop in increments such as f/5.6, f/8 and f/11, pressing the button in between each to see what the effect looks like.
What is the blurred background effect?
The blur that you are so used to seeing in photography that separates a subject from the background is the result of shallow “depth of field” and is generally simply called “background blur”. The quality and feel of the background/foreground blur and reflected points of light, however, is what photographers call Bokeh.
