This video is really helpful. I love taking portraits and they seem to be the hardest to get them to turn out halfway good

[@abhijitchavan2453]

3x + vivid scene is all you need for best click possible

[@thewebstylist]

I never knew about the depth adjust!! 🎉

Really helpful thank you!

Please bring a update so that we can manually control processing of our selfies in iphone 14 & iphone 15 series. Selfies are so bad after they are taken. They get overly processed😢

Apple has the best camera

[@romella_karmey]

I always slide the depth of field to 16 because the blur separation of background and subject is not yet perfect
