I have tried so many tutorials and still don't know how to do this.. <img src="https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61e.png?v=6529dfcbe5e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--disappointed" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":disappointed:" alt="😞" /><br />
When I finally corectly matched my model with inserted photo in SU, I can´t set my camera with the same parameters as picture was shooted.<br />
When I use on photomatch scene a tool "Creates a physycal camere with real world camera parameters", I'll see that focal lenght should be 26mm but when I use it in VRay camera setting, my render looks different than in viewport...<br />
It doesn't matter if I set output as Override Viewport to my requested size or not.<br />
As you can see on the attachement - render doesn't fit with evwiroment background (the same as photomatch photo).</p>
<p dir="auto">Could someone help please?</p>
<p dir="auto">At the moment I always try different setting of Override focal lenght and Zoom factor to match as much by my eye... <img src="https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61e.png?v=6529dfcbe5e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--disappointed" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":disappointed:" alt="😞" /><br />
So best result I have get with Override focal lenght to 17mm and Zoom factor set to 1,0.</p>

<p dir="auto">any distortions in photomatch won't be matched by vray. One thing you can try is to click on the zoom tool. Then look at the focal length value in the VCB (box at the bottom right of your SU window) click in that box and type in the exact same number. You may see the camera "jump" slightly, with the photomatch distortion being removed. Then save your new view and try rendering again.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I do not know if I understood correctly - I typed the same number from VCB box as the new override FOV and notting jumped..<br />
When I tried to render it still isn´t correct.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi, I have tried it but it didn´t help - as attached<br />
Photo was tooked by Digital Canon 7D which isn´t fullframe</p>
<p dir="auto">I also tried to uncheck override settings and to have only advanced camera - the result is quite simmilar as in viewport but still it doesn´t match with enviroment/matched photo.. <img src="https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61e.png?v=6529dfcbe5e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--disappointed" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":disappointed:" alt="😞" /></p>

<p dir="auto">This is maybe misunderstanding becouse of my english.. .)<br />
There are some distortions which I saw by modeling the room from photomatch - I do not care about (its not so big problem).<br />
My problem is that: I can see correctly matched model as I want in scene but I can´t render it in the same view as I see in viewport..</p>

<p dir="auto">I think Vray mimics a 35mm camera. So you should enter the focal length of your camera only if it's a full frame DSLR (Or an old 35mm film camera). Otherwise you need to convert the focal length to a 35mm equivalent.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I expected that if I don't override FOV in VRay Camera setting, I should get exact the same view of render as is a viewport.. It means without any special camera settings - Do I wrong?</p>
