Linked V-ray camera exposure

[king_max]

I wonder if in the future releases of v-ray there can be added a "lock camera exposure settings" button.
I worked on a project lately where I used the camera built-in DOF/Mblur. I had the exposure set as I wanted it, but when trying to achieve the desired DOF/Mblur effect I found myself going through the tideous process of matching the shutter speed to the F-stop values to get the same EV value.
It would be very neat to have the option to lock those values together.
Same could be applied to the camera zoom/focus distance.

Best regards

been requested before, but +1 from me.

I've searched for a similar thread, but didn't find any. Good to know.

hey +1 from me!

Just turn off the exposure of the physical camera, and use only the Color mapping settings to adjust the image brightness...

Wouldnt that mean keeping a note of all color mapping settings for every camera?

In a typical arch viz scene, I might have 20+ different vrayphysicalcameras, all with completely different exposure settings due to differing lighting conditions. Once I have found a good exposure for one camera, I might want to change the DOF effect by altering the f-stop, but keep the exposure the same. I'd even like to see aperture priority and shutter priority modes like on a DSLR

Yep, aperture/shutter priority are on the "to do" list...
