The length of the direction vector determine the distance between the 
camera and the projection plane. In a way, it can be seen as the focal 
length of the camera.Then, the ratio between the up and right vectors 
determine the aspect ratio of the image. Those three vectors should be 
perpendicular to one another.

If you want to emulate focal blurring, then, you need to use the focal 
blur feature. For that, you need to also define the aperture of the 
emulated objective, the focal point and how many samples are to be used.

Hope that it's useful to you.
Happy POVing.
