“By using Portrait mode, the details of the main subject targeted by the user will appear sharper and stand out from other objects”
–
JAKARTA, TELISIK.ID – Various smartphone brands in 2022 are vying to release the best devices. One of them is by presenting a feature that can blur the background of the subject being shot.
Usually, a feature that can give a blurry effect, aka bokeh, relies on a mode in the phone’s camera software called “Portrait”.
By using Portrait mode, the details of the main subject targeted by the user will appear sharper and stand out than other objects.
Well, one smartphone that also has this feature is the Oppo Reno 7 4G.
Quoting from Technologue.id, like most Oppo HP types, the OPPO Reno 7 4G is one with extraordinary camera quality. This cellphone consists of two cameras, including a rear camera consisting of a 64MP main camera, a 2MP portrait camera, and a 2MP microscope camera.
Then, for the front camera, there is a selfie camera with a resolution of 32MP, with the camera specs being the IMX709 RGBW selfie camera.
To use Portrait mode, Oppo Reno7 4G users can enter the camera application and select the “Portrait” menu in camera mode at the bottom of the screen.
Here are some tips for taking quality pictures or photos using the “Portrait” mode, as quoted from Kompas.com:
1. Pay attention to the distance between the subject and the camera
To produce a neat portrait photo, the user must first ensure the distance between the camera and the subject being targeted. The distance that is usually the benchmark so that Portrait mode can function is between 1-2 meters.

If Portrait mode is ready and detects a human face or the main subject, the background of that subject will appear blurred and ready to be shot.
In addition to the distance between the camera and the subject, make sure that the distance between the main subject and objects around it, or objects in the background, is not too close to the main subject.
The reason is that if it is too close, the portrait photos may not look neat or look good.
2. Pay attention to the intensity of the ambient light
Make sure the light that shines on the main subject is not too much. If it is too excessive, it is feared that the light will damage the details or colors of the subject being photographed.
To overcome this, go somewhere that is shady but still has sunlight, or a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
In addition, make sure the main subject is not facing the light or the sun. The reason, it is feared will cause backlight.
Backlight is an effect that can make the surrounding lighting dark. This can happen because the light or sunlight beats the brightness of the main subject.
In order to avoid backlight, users can direct the main subject to another place to ensure that sunlight is not in the camera shot.
3. Choose an interesting background
In addition to light intensity, users also need to pay attention to the background of the subject being photographed.
Choose a background that is considered attractive, colorful, and matches the main subject. In addition, choose a background whose color does not collide with the subject’s color.
This is of course to separate the details of the subject from the background, and to avoid the impression of being monotonous in portrait photos.
4. Make sure the phone is stable when taking pictures
The stability of the phone is also very important when shooting using Portrait mode.

If the phone is unstable, the photos will certainly be blurry and will not focus on the subject that is the main point.
Therefore, make sure users keep their phones steady until the shooting process using portrait mode is complete and stored in the phone gallery.
5. Use the Retouch and Filter features
Oppo Reno7 4G is equipped with the Retouch feature to refine the face and skin of the main subject. In addition to Retouch, this phone also has a number of Filters that can be used to change the color tone or mood of the photo according to taste.
Well, the Retouch and Filter features can be used when users take advantage of portrait mode. This of course can make the results of portrait photos more unique and different than usual.
To use the Retouch and Filter features, users can click on the “magic wand” icon located in the lower right corner of the camera app.
Then, select “Retouch” to beautify the face, or “Filter” to select the desired filter. (C)
