I can read and set the Aperture and Focal Lenght of a camera object:

APERTURE=cambc->GetFloat(CAMERAOBJECT_APERTURE);
FOCUS=cambc->GetFloat(CAMERAOBJECT_FOCUS);

cambc->SetFloat(CAMERAOBJECT_APERTURE,APERTURE);
cambc->SetFloat(CAMERAOBJECT_FOCUS,FOCUS);

But, can I set the Field of View? If yes, what is the name of the parameter? And, will the Focal Lenght be automatically adjusted?

Aperture sort of determines the FOV as a relation of (height/width)*FOCUS. There is no other way as far as I know.

The parameter name for the FOV is CAMERAOBJECT_FOV.
Setting this (in radians of course) should change the aperture and focus automatically.

Actually, I could only make it work by changing the FOCUS (CAMERAOBJECT_FOCUS). But what matters is that is working. Thank you all 🙂
