• Motion Blur control using Shutter Speed or Shutter Angle
• White Balancing with viewport picker
• Resolution per camera with artist-friendly presets
• Autofocus (Single, Continuous or Tracking)

Version 3.3 changelog:

• Lens Tilt and Automatic Tilt

• Photographer panel now accessible in the Compositor

Version 3.2 changelog:

New features:

• Auto Exposure
• Negative lights support
• EV guide is now visible in the 3D view panel
• Fisheye lens support (can be used to add distorsion at longer focal length)
• Exposure and White Balance panels now available in Image editor

Changed:

• MasterCamera Transition speed now works as speed instead of "slowness"

Bugfix:

• Fixed division by 0 when using black color in the light.
• EEVEE Light sampling threshold button wasn't unregistered properly
• Fixed white balance picker with ACES (currently using Raw values)
• Fixed wrong light unit conversion when using drivers
• Fixed end playback error when using Autofocus animate

Version 3.1 changelog:

• Supporting animations in the viewport and rendering for Physical Lights and Physical camera.
• Master Camera animation support. This could potentially be used to transform the timeline into a render queue of different cameras by setting a key to another camera every frame.
• Physical Light panel can now be used with LuxCore.
• New Light Sampling threshold warning, or automated version (will unfortunately force refresh viewport render)
• A lot of small fixes for better user experience.
