Title: Bug corona camera
Post by: Gionni on 2022-11-07, 00:13:41
Hi everyone, I have a problem.

If I insert a camera in corona 9 and change, for example, the shutter speed or f stop, nothing happens.
I would like to know if I am the only one with this problem.
Thank you very much.

Did you add photographic exposure operator to your tone mapping stack? And don't forget to double check if it's actually enabled, otherwise photographic exposure controls will have no effect.

Hi. I have this exact same issue. Having just starting using Corona, could you break down your answer into something a noob might understand?
Thanks

Start any render or interactive render in the VFB > go to the Post tab of the VFB > Add a new tone mapping operator with the "+" button > Select Photographic Exposure. Otherwise the photographic settings in the camera won't have any effect.

Thanks for the reply. Most helpful
What would be more helpful is if the 'Photographic Exposure' was renamed 'Camera Settings', and maybe have it set to 'on' by default. It's odd that you have to load it in as a separate layer.
As a noob, that would really clear things up.
