Is there an explanation somewhere for all of these new Octane features in the Camera settings?
I find this to be an interesting development, but I have no idea how to use this?

New Octane features? Do you have the Octane plug-in installed?
Not that I know of....

I had that turn up in a product I was using the other day - and now I can't recall the name of it - which I think means the person who made the product added a bunch of octane settings. I don't have the plug in so was surprised to see them turn up.
Yes, I think if a scene was saved from a system with Octane it may have some left-overs. If so they can be ignored.
You surely mean "Ignored after registering a ticket, so that it can get fixed".
I've gotten that before with some prodcuts...can't remember if it was characters or sets with included scene presets or what...but I've seen references to "Octane Render" before and I ignored it.
If Octane render is activated during saving any form of .duf file (scene, subsets, figure, prop, materials, wearables) it will pick up Octane Render data that was loaded to the plugin at the time. To the best of my knowledge this data does not load unless you have Octane Render activated or have had it installed at some point, when Otoy released free tier a lot of people installed the plugin even if they may not have used it more than once. I'd suggest checking if Octane files are still present in your Studio installation (under C:/Users/YourName/Octane Render or in DS plugin folders).
To answer the original question about Octane Render cameras, features are explained at Otoy with every iteration release and may as well have just been shown as default values, you can set custom aperture and DOF and such which will be used by Octane Render viewport although some of the features are closely connected to DS camera settings, they are specifically meant only for Octane plugin use.
I get Reality stuff too, it's not a big deal just options for those who want them
AFAIK I know it doesn't effect anything for those who don't any more than having a morph slider or or parameter they don't wish to use does.
I guess those alternative breast shape sliders that come with some figures also annoy you
too.
