SynthCam Brings Shallow Depth of Field for your iPhone [Video] iPhone/iPod touch: Small sensors in smartphone cameras always result in everything being in focus. SynthCam uses some clever tricks to allow your iDevice to emulate the shallow depth of field look you are able to achieve with DSLR cameras.

SynthCam Brings Shallow Depth of Field for your iPhone [Video] SynthCam works via your iDevice’s video recording functionality to record multiple frames and use the combined images to create a pretend shallow depth of field and selective focus on your iDevice photos. You put a (relatively small) focus while you begin using SynthCam, move the camera left, right, up, and down for a couple of seconds, stop recording, and you’ll come to be with a composite image that emulates shallow depth of field. You will discover an example photo of my car keys and sunglasses to the perfect.

Because SynthCam uses video to create this effect, images are going to be low-resolution. If in case you have an HD camera for your iDevice, however, you do have the opportunity of making somewhat higher-resolution images. While it had some difficulty tracking darker subjects, that appears more of a limitation of the hardware than of SynthCam’s abilities. Overall, so one can create the look of shallow depth of field without breaking out Photoshop, it’s a fun option.

SynthCam is obtainable for $1, today, within the iTunes App Store.
