The “portrait mode” effect has been a very popular addition feature to contemporary smartphone photography. In fact, the feature is the main selling point of many smart phones that feature dual cameras. Now one of the world’s most popular social network Instagram, launches its new feature named “Focus” which is a cool portrait mode feature as it often comes in premium smartphones.
Instagram launches new portrait mode camera mode as part of UI Portrait Stories update. The camera mode is called “Focus” and the icon is right next to “Superzoom”.
