What's the distance between the camera eye and the canvas and how it's related to focal length

It depends on the Sensor Size of the camera Short answer: If you didn't scale your gizmo (object's scale = 1,1,1) you can se the formula: Canvas distance = Focal Length / Sensor Size Explanation Like … as the focal length: If you use a custom Sensor Size, the plane distance from POV is the ratio between the Focal length and the Sensor Size: Zdepth = Scale*Focal Length/Sensor Size Blender's default camera

align reference image with orthographic camera

But as I marked in bold, 60° is the projected angle, that means that is the result of the transformation of the camera and should be not used straightfoward as input for the X rotation. … Relying instead on the the math that's describing the camera orientation for such type of projection, we discover that the real X rotation is give by the formula: X rotation = 90°-arctan(sin 45°) = 90 …
