Description
Feature request: For the MapBox's CameraOptions, it would be great to have an additional property for FOV (Field of View). In case of my application, I'd like to have just a very slightly wider field of view. Secondary, also having the ability to set Depth of Field would be great, but this may impact rendering performance of course.
I think it may be relatively easy to add these, because Apple already provides them. For instance, Apples SceneKit has these properties for SCNCamera as "fieldOfView". In case of Depth of field, the properties are "wantsDepthOfField", with its accompanying properties "focusDistance", fStop", "apertureBladeCount" and "focalBlurSampleCount".

Research direction
Start by locating CameraOptions and the camera-rendering integration in the Mapbox iOS codebase, then compare its API with SceneKit's SCNCamera properties named in the issue. Define the scope for Field of View and Depth of Field, including the requested focus and aperture settings, and verify that the resulting behavior and rendering-performance impact are acceptable.
