This app has a wonderful photo background defocusing feature. I like it because I dont need to go anymore to cybers for 4x4 background blured pics for the fufilement of some important or documental formalities, this app helps me to do it all on my own. Its woderful.

You can't take close up photo with this app, an error occurred if you tried "Can not blur the background", you always need to maintain the specific distance from the object. This app blurred the background of left side only, right side and an object which you have kept focus on, remains the normal. Very disappointing application from the reputed Sony Mobile Communications brand who has its identity in market for clarity only !!!

It needs to get a major upgrade. Please sony read the comments atleast once. Everyone here is just begging to get a proper portrait mode. Atleast on flagship devices try and update this app to capture professional portraits of humans. I own a xzp everything is flawless except the missing portrait mode feature. Also sony doesn't support camera2api so we cant use google camera mods which include portrait mode and hdr+. So we are helpless. Please listen to your loyal fanbase and get a proper portrait mode

Rubbish, you can't even have a heart beat if you want to use the app as any tiny movement will cause it not to work. It's not intelligent, the blur seeps into the subject and there is no way to rectify it with an after effect option where you could drag the blur where needed. Disappointing lazy app.

The state of this app is a reflection of SONYs ancient camera processing, algorithms and optics, seriously in need of an update and overhall (the new android 9 camera UI itself is nice, but the processing and low light needs work).. Sony, please show your Mobile phone supporters some love..

About this app

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).
