  Expression for Focus Distance

  Posted by Corbin Gross on June 7, 2007 at 6:00 pm

  I’d like to link the focus distance of my camera to ___ so I can maintain focus as I zoom about my graphic. I can, of course keyframe it but I was wondering if there is a way to automate it expression style.
  Thanks

  Searching the COW for “expression” “focus” “camera” with “ebberts” as the author led to:

  You could also try the expressions COW.
