Description DOF in DS4

• Load a new camera
• Position that camera to frame the shot you want.
• Go to the parameters tab and turn on the DOF for that camera (camera 1) in the parameters tab
• What is in focus is shown between the two panels (you will have to switch the scene camera to perspective view to see the workings of your new camera)
• Adjust the focal distance and f/stop till the part of the image that you want in focus is between the two panels.
• switch your scene camera view to your new camera and render

I've used numerous shots where it would have been so helpful. Tell me something, if you would, if Ive got a shot, where say the hands are posed extra close.. and I want to somehow downplay that.. is DOF the way to go, or is that pretty much reversed and useless?

yep....if something is closer to the camera than what is between that focal area, then it will blur out. I did that a bit in this image:
