What is Depth of field?

[roninz47]

In settings the display tab has Depth of Field what does that slider control ?

Did you try it and see for yourself?

It changes the way that the far distance will look blurry and out of focus because you are not close to it. Reduce it to reduce the effect.

Sharpness or blurriness of an object’s focus on the lens compared to the background

You can check Google for examples :)

If I remember correctly it's to do with VATS. Either that or it's the bokeh setting.

It causes the blur you see when using VATS that focuses on your target.

It mimics REAL LIFE as we all go blurry when looking at something.

It simulates the blurriness of out-of-focus parts in the field of view in optical systems.

Add it to your list of the first things to turn off after installing a game, along with motion blur and film grain.
