Shoot In Portrait Mode To Create Gorgeous Blurred

Backgrounds

Do you want to shoot professional-looking photos

with dreamy, blurred backgrounds? You might think
this is impossible with mobile phone photography.
But you don’t need a professional DSLR camera

to blur the background in your photos. If your
iPhone camera has Portrait mode, you can easily

blur the background when taking pictures. Portrait
mode uses depth-effect software to keep your
foreground subject sharp while blurring the

background. So, how do you use Portrait mode? It’s
simple! In the iPhone Camera app, select

the Portrait shooting mode at the bottom of the
screen. Compose your shot, making sure your
subject is between two and eight feet away. (The

depth-effect won’t work if your subject is too close
or too far away.) When you see the words Natural

Light in yellow, you’re ready to take a shot. Press
the shutter button to take a stunning photo with a

beautifully blurred background! Tap the
yellow Portrait option at the top of the screen to
remove the blur effect from your photo. You can

turn the blur back on at any time by
tapping Portrait again.
