Shooting Mode

GPRO FOCUS MODE

Choose for soft focusing the background of a subject such as a portrait or a flower to make it impressive. When the shutter button is pressed, the camera automatically takes up to 3 pictures and creates one image with a sharp focused subject that has a soft focused background. The camera provides you with a soft focus effect like an SLR camera. Press the selector left or right to select SOFTNESS in 3 steps before shooting.
