    I found another issue of this kind, something I don't understand. If you have a VrayPhysicalCam, you disable "Targeted" and use Focal length instead of FOV, which is my default workflow. If you then change the Target Distance, the FOV will change, even though you have target mode deactivated. You can see the FOV change, in the viewport and in the values. But the focal length stays the same.
    Why is this happening?

      When using the FoV mode, the camera is instructed to strongly adhere to the FoV value, at the expense of any other parameter: change target distance in this mode, and see how the Focal Lenght changes to accommodate the selected FoV.
      When however one is in Focal Lenght mode, priority is given to the Focal Lenght, and the resulting FoV changes based on target distance.
      This is the physical modelling of the camera, and its expected behaviour.

      The fix for the ortho views is now in place in nightlies, for those with access, I will write here again when it's made its way into the stable builds.
