The portrait mode is an essential feature on almost every smartphone today. Samsung’s own portrait mode is available on the Galaxy S21, as you would expect. It’s easy to choose the portrait mode from the many options available, point your phone at the subject, and then click the shutter button.
Portrait mode on a smartphone mimics the trick that photographers have used on their DSLR and SLR cameras for years. The final product will have the subject in sharp focus and blurred background. This effect is known as the bokeh effect or depth-of-field effect.
Smartphones do a lot of work with software. This means that the bokeh effect in your phone’s portraits can be artificial. Smartphones don’t have the hardware required to capture portrait-style photos. They also need larger sensors, longer focal lengths, and fine-tuned focus control.
Your phone does the heavy lifting for you. Simply point your phone at the subject and the software will take care of all the rest. You can take beautiful portrait photos using your Galaxy S21 by following the steps below.
