The iOS 10.1 Portrait Feature gives the iPhone 7 Plus a unique camera feature. How does the function work more and more importantly: what should you do to get the most beautiful photos?
iPhone 7 Plus Portrait: This is how it works
In order to use the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait feature, it is important that your device is running on iOS 10.1 or higher. The Portrait feature uses the 7 Plus dual camera lens to create an impressive 'bokeh' depth of field effect.
By analyzing the picture and recognizing the object or person in the foreground, the iPhone itself makes the backside extra blurred. As a result, what you emphasize in the picture is extraordinary. These tips make sure you use the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait feature optimally.
Note: The Portrait function of iOS 10.1 is still in beta at the time of writing. Thus, some details on pictures may be less beautiful. This problem is especially true with small details that protrude, such as an antenna or a hair.
For example, use the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait feature
1. Open the Camera app on the iPhone 7 Plus;
2. In the lower bar (above the shutter button) tap Portrait;
3. Follow the instructions on your screen to create a portrait photo.
4 tips for making beautiful portrait photos
1. Note the distance
To make a portrait picture as good as possible, it is important that the object is relatively close in the foreground. A distance of about two meters is ideal, but less can also. The more you can separate the background, the better the iPhone can apply the bokeh effect. So do not try to photograph someone standing with his or her back against the wall.
2. Provide enough (natural) light
Exposure is already important in normal photos, but all the way if you want to make a successful portrait photo. Indeed, the camera needs enough light to successfully separate the front and background. In practice, we found out that natural light produces the best results. In case of lack of better you can of course also turn on a lamp, but this sometimes caused some crazy, distorted results.
3. Pick up small items or details from your shot
To help your iPhone 7 Plus hand, you can get small objects out of your shot. For example, the camera can not focus on this, so that only the subject of your snapshot will be beautiful. For spontaneous photos, this is sometimes awkward, but if you take the time to make a beautiful portrait picture, you will soon see how quality is going on.
