• How to use it:

  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Select the Portrait mode photo you want to edit.
  3. Tap Edit.
  4. Adjust the Depth Control slider to increase or decrease the amount of background blur.

II. Using Cinematic Mode (While Taking a Video)

• What it is: Cinematic mode is designed to create videos with a shallow depth of field, automatically shifting focus between subjects to add a professional look. The background will also blur in this mode.
• How to use it:
  1. Open the Camera app.
  2. Swipe to Cinematic mode.
  3. Tap record.
  4. iPhone automatically focuses according to where and who is in the video.

  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Select the Cinematic mode video you want to edit.
  3. Tap Edit.
  4. Tap on the screen to change the focus point and depth.
  5. Adjust the Aperture to increase or decrease the amount of background blur.
