Is there any way to see the frame line when looking through a camera?

When you are looking through a camera in DAZ Studio, what you see depends on how big your main viewport is and what menus you have on the sides. Is there any way to see the exact frame line of what will render so you can more accurately place the camera?

If you go to the render tab and in the dropdown for views, select your camera
The render area will have a white box around it. Using the rotate, scrolling to zoom, and the cross-hair slide adjusts the position of the camera.

You can check this by taking note of the position and rotation values of the camera in the pose/animate tab, then doing what I said above. When you go back to the pose/animate, you will see that all your transition and rotation values for your camera have changed.

In the upper right corner of your viewport, where the viewport tools are (The cube and the rotate, zoom, etc) there is a dropdown menu... looks like 3 parallel lines. In this menu, you have the option to display the aspect frame.

kaotkbliss and Slosh,

Thanks! Turning on Show Aspect Frame did the trick. I knew there had to be a control like that somewhere.

Cheers!

Thanks Slosh, I learned something new!

Glad to help :) There are usually several ways to do the same thing in any software, but I think this is the simplest way for this particular request
