Tips for Photographing in PORTRAIT Mode

Choose a pure background

The background with pure colour and neat objects is recommended for shooting. It will facilitate the camera to identify the edge of subject more accurately so as to produce a natural bokeh effect in the background. Touch EFFECTS , you can select a lighting effect you like to create an artistic image.

Keep a proper distance

Generally, the best distance for photographing is within 2 meters. Shooting too close will result in an inappropriate face size, while too far may impair the bokeh effect. Try dragging the zoom slider on the right side to adjust the focal length.

Make use of the camera angle

Keeping the camera at the same level as subject’s eyes is the most common and highly recommended shooting angle. A low-angle perspective is another ideal option.

Adjust expression and pose

Side view portrait could produce more lively images through accentuating the facial features, outline and silhouette. Try looking back with an affectionate expression, and take multiple photos continuously to capture the most gorgeous snapshot.

*Reminder: When posing, you can hold your cheeks with your hands or use small props. Try it out to find your best angle and posture.
