David Hanak The new iPhones will be available in the Czech Republic from Saturday, but users abroad have been playing with their new phones for almost a week. Thanks to this, we can look at some of the new functions that Apple introduced this year with the news. One such is the depth of field control (Depth Control), which allows you to change the blurring of the background of the image even after the image has been taken.

In practice, this involves changing the aperture on an already taken picture, where the user can choose an aperture from f/1,6, at which the photographed object will be in the foreground with a considerably blurred background, up to f/16, when the objects in the background will be in focus. There is a wide scale of settings between these border steps, so everyone can choose the degree of blurring of the scene themselves. If you didn't catch the presentation of this feature during the keynote, you can see how it actually works in the video below.
To adjust the depth of field, you need to take the picture in Portrait mode, then click on Adjust an image and here a new slider will appear, used precisely for adjusting the depth of field. The default setting for all Portrait photos on iPhones is f/4,5. The new feature is available on the iPhone XS and XS Max, as well as appearing on the upcoming iPhone XR, which will go on sale in less than a month. Currently, it is possible to change the depth of field only in the captured images, but from iOS 12.1, this option will be available in real time, during the photo itself.
