Take a photo with the bokeh effect thanks to the features of your nan
In the past, the bokeh effect was only reserved for SLR cameras. With the technological evolution of our smartphones, they are now able to compete with them. Nevertheless, what is the bokeh effect for? It is neither more nor less than put a blur effect on the background of the photo to bring out the subject well in the foreground.
Although this act seems simple to accomplish, it is not always easy to find the function on our smartphone. This is why we will see in this first section the handling of the bokeh effect on a nan using two ways: during the taking of a photo and after having taken the photo.
How to use bokeh mode while taking a photo
To use the bokeh effect on your phone in a simple and fast way, the best technique will be to use a mode to blur the background which is originally integrated on your smartphone. This mode will be used when you take the snapshot . You will therefore not need any post-production manipulations. Find out how to use the bokeh effect directly on your nan:
