Selective Focus

This is a sample using the "selective focus" mode on the Samsung Galaxy S9 phone. I focused just below his nose which came out really sharp while everything else is blurry. Nice, but it does not save RAW image files in this mode - only jpeg. Thus there is a good amount of artifacts due to the lower quality.

 

Edit: To explain it more fully, once the photo is taken on the phone, the focus can be adjusted after-the-fact and saved as a new image. So, I could go into it now and make both fore and background sharp, or make the background focus/the cat blurry. Kind of an interesting feature!
