Bokeh - take photos in a professional style
Let the object in focus stand out. The Bokeh app simulates a shallow depth of field by creating a blurred out background.
It captures two photos with different focus settings, which you can bring together to create a photo with one object in sharp focus, against a beautifully blurred background.

How to use Bokeh:
1. Start the Camera and select Bokeh as the camera mode
2. Tap the object you want to focus on in the viewfinder
3. Press the camera key to take a photo
4. Change the blur level and blur effect with the controls on the screen
5. Tap the save button

Tips for best photos:

To get the best results, please focus on an object 15-45cm (0.5-1.5 feet) away, make sure the background object is 5 meters away from the focus target and hold the camera steady.
Results are dependent on device and camera specifications.

Notes :

Due to Android restrictions 'Bokeh-addon' app icon may disappear from the camera mode selector after updating 'Bokeh' app to version-2.4.12 or later. Please update the phone software to make it appear. Alternatively, you can access the bokeh app from application tray (Home application).
