Grasping the Concept of Depth of Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before jumping into how to blur the background on iPhone video<\/strong>, let’s first grasp the concept of depth of field (DoF). In the realm of photography and videography, DoF refers to the range in an image, from near to far, that appears sharp. When a photo or a video has a shallow DoF, the subject of the image is sharp, while the background appears blurred. This effect is what we’re aiming to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Portrait Mode for Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portrait Mode has long been a favorite feature of iPhone photography enthusiasts. With recent iOS updates, this feature has been expanded to include video as well, referred to as “Portrait Video”. This mode allows users to create videos with a depth-of-field effect, keeping the subject sharp and blurring the background. Here are the steps to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Open the Camera App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Start Recording<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Point your iPhone at your subject and tap the red record button to start recording your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, the quality of the depth effect can vary depending on the lighting conditions and the distance from your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Third-Party Apps to Blur Background in Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
