Below are all the steps for shooting in portrait mode using an iPhone 8 device. I hope this tutorial can help you make better use of the camera functions of iPhone 8 and take satisfying portrait photos.
1. Open the camera
- Find and tap the "Camera" icon on your iPhone 8 device to open the Camera app.
- After opening the camera, swipe up or down (depending on your ios version) from the bottom of the screen to select shooting mode.
- Slide to "Portrait" mode. You'll see the Portrait option appear at the top of the screen, and a circular indicator will appear next to the camera lens.
- Aim the camera at the person or subject you want to photograph, and use the on-screen autofocus points to adjust to ensure the subject is in focus.
- If you need to adjust the exposure, you can tap the subject on the screen and drag the sun icon that appears at the bottom of the screen to increase or decrease the exposure.
- For the best portrait mode effect, make sure there is enough distance between the subject and the background, so that you can get a more obvious background blur effect.
- Maintain certain light conditions, good light helps improve photo quality.
- When everything is ready, you can tap the shutter button at the bottom of the screen to take a photo, or use the volume keys to take a photo.
- After the shooting is completed, you can view the photo in the photo album and further adjust the photo effect through the editing function.
- You can also use editing tools to adjust photo effects after shooting, such as adjusting lighting effects, changing background blur, etc.
